PEUGEOT TOPS UK ELECTRIC VAN SALES

PEUGEOT’S share of the electric light commercial vehicle (e-LCV) market increased to 16.7% year-to-date, an increase of 2.7% compared with the same period in 2023. PEUGEOT’s e-LCV sales volume has also increased by 12%, with 1,480 e-LCVs sold year-to-date. In addition to the brand’s success in the e-LCV market, the new PEUGEOT PARTNER topped the sales chart in June to be the UK’s best-selling small van with a 5.1% share of the segment.

From 2025, production of the fully electric E-EXPERT will begin at Luton, alongside continued production of the combustion van. The new PEUGEOT E-PARTNER is currently manufactured at Ellesmere Port, the UK’s first EV-only volume manufacturing plant. PEUGEOT, alongside its sister Stellantis brands, is the only brand to manufacture volume electric and light commercial vehicles in the UK.

2024 continues to be a successful year for PEUGEOT, with 47,219 vehicles sold so far, compared to 43,595 sold by this time last year. PEUGEOT’s passenger car sales volume has grown by 14% with 34,653 registrations year-to-date. In June, PEUGEOT’s share of the electric car market increased by 1.7% year-on-year to 3.4%, and by 1.4% for cars and vans combined to 3.6%. PEUGEOT offers the widest electric line-up of any mainstream European manufacturer, with 6,911 electric vehicles sold already this year – a 16.2% increase compared to the same point in 2023.

Eurig Druce, Managing Director, PEUGEOT UK, said: “It’s pleasing to see the performance of our electric vehicles, with our electric van range leading the UK’s e-LCV market. The popularity of our electric vans is a testament to PEUGEOT’s leadership and innovation with electric vehicles. We take pride in offering the most extensive range of electric vehicles of any mainstream European brand, thus ensuring our customers have the widest choice to meet their evolving needs.”
