FactThis humble French delivery van's electric version wasn't home-grown — its motor and battery were borrowed straight from the Mitsubishi i-MiEV.
The second-generation Berlingo and Peugeot Partner, styled by Gilles Vidal on the PSA PF2 platform shared with the Peugeot 308 and 207, slightly larger and considerably more expensive than its predecessor. Two models replaced the first generation in 2008: a smaller Citroën Nemo and Peugeot Bipper, and this larger Berlingo II and Partner II. They were unveiled in January 2008, with the Berlingo launched first in Europe in April 2008 and the Partner in May 2008. Facelifts came in 2012 and 2015, and an electric version with a traction motor and battery derived from the Mitsubishi i-MiEV was available from 2013. Engines were the 1.6 TU5 petrol and the 1.6 HDi and BlueHDi diesels, and the generation was also built in Russia as the Peugeot Partner, Citroën Berlingo and Opel Combo Cargo.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Italian coachbuilder Caselani turned 200 Berlingos into retro vans modelled on the 1951 2CV Fourgonnette.

In 1998 Citroën built a range-extender hybrid Berlingo — the Dynavolt — pairing nickel-cadmium batteries with a tiny 500cc LPG engine just to keep them topped up, two decades before 'range extender' was a buzzword.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Chevy pitched the Astro as the anti-minivan, telling buyers life was too big for one, while it rode on a rear-wheel-drive truck frame.
The IIHS rated the Astro Poor in a 1996 crash test, yet 2001–2004 Astros later had the lowest driver death rate of any US passenger vehicle.
The boxy, unglamorous Astro quietly posted one of the best real-world safety records in America: IIHS found 2001-2004 models had the fewest driver deaths per million vehicles of any passenger vehicle on US roads.
The third-generation Tourneo Connect, released in Europe in October 2021, is a rebadged fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, assembled by Volkswagen in Poland.
Ford beat the 25% "chicken tax" by importing the Transit Connect as a passenger van — rear windows and seats included, then stripped out and recycled once it landed in the US.
Ford spent years in federal court over the second-gen Transit Connect: in June 2019 the US won its appeal, and judges ruled the van was cargo-only — ending Ford's workaround for the 'chicken tax.'
GM sold a rebadged Nissan NV200 as the Chevy City Express for four years, then killed it in 2018, citing weak sales and the fact that its parts weren't even compatible with GM's own parts catalog.
Its name is a pun: "S-Cargo" means "Small Cargo" but sounds just like escargot — French for snail, the shape the whole van was built to resemble.
