The announcement follows yesterday's news of the appointment of Jeremy Smith as Citroën's head of commercial vehicles and business centre operations, who commented: ‘The Relay is a key model in our LCV range. By the application of innovative technology the new model will improve and build upon the operational advantages of its predecessor. These include class-leading payloads, as well as one of the largest, most practical load compartments in its class.’
Full details of the New Relay will be released at the CV Show. However, the range is expected to include all the major model configurations found in the current Relay range. As such there will be a wide choice of panel vans, chassis cabs, chassis crew cabs and back-to-back cabs. All will be offered in a variety of gross vehicle weights, with a range of low emission, fuel-efficient HDi diesels. In addition the New Relay range will include ready-bodied Specialist Models, such as dropside trucks, tippers and Luton vans – and a full range of Ready-to-Run conversions.
Shown alongside the new Relay will be a selection of Nemo, Berlingo and Dispatch models.
