The Citroën 2 CV Fourgonnette Concept brings an electric interpretation of the brand's historic delivery van to the 2026 Paris Motor Show. Citroën presented the study on October alongside the passenger 2 CV Concept, transferring its focus on simplicity and affordability to commercial mobility.
Keep expectations practical. Citroën explicitly says the Fourgonnette does not preview a production model in the short term.
An Electric Workhorse Idea, Without a Launch Date
Citroën's designers created the electric van concept as a passion project rather than a scheduled product programme. It recalls a vehicle that served tradespeople, shopkeepers and delivery drivers, while proposing an electric successor to that working philosophy.

Specifically, the company prioritises everyday usefulness and ease of use. However, its release supplies no cargo dimensions, payload rating or powertrain output, so buyers have no basis for assessing delivery capacity or route suitability.
Fourgonnette vs Passenger 2 CV Concept
The companion Citroën 2 CV Concept provides useful technical context, but its figures do not establish the van's specifications.
| Specification | Passenger 2 CV Concept | Fourgonnette Concept |
|---|---|---|
| Intended role | Everyday passenger mobility | Light commercial mobility |
| Propulsion | Electric | Electric |
| Overall length | 3,760 mm, approximately 148.0 inches | No published van measurement |
| Vehicle mass | 1,000 kg target | No published van target |
| Price | Around €15,000 indicative starting target | No announced van price |
Citroën links the passenger study's low mass target to a smaller, less expensive battery and lower energy consumption. That logic could benefit a compact commercial vehicle too, although cargo weight would change its energy demand.
In addition, the passenger concept uses separately replaceable bumpers to simplify repairs. Citroën has not confirmed equivalent hardware for the Fourgonnette.
The Figures Fleet Buyers Still Need
A recognisable silhouette attracts attention. Operating data decides the purchase. For a commercial vehicle, usable payload and charging downtime directly affect how many jobs a driver can complete.
| Missing Fourgonnette data | Unit | Business decision it supports |
|---|---|---|
| Payload and gross vehicle weight | kg | Tool and goods capacity |
| Load volume and door opening dimensions | m³ and mm | Parcel fit and loading access |
| Battery capacity and WLTP range | kWh and km | Route planning |
| AC/DC charging power and charging time | kW and minutes | Depot scheduling |
| Motor output and torque | kW and Nm | Loaded driving capability |
Pro-Tips: Should Your Business Wait for This Van?
Plan around vehicles with confirmed availability. Citroën's current announcement offers no delivery timetable for the Fourgonnette.
- Measure your heaviest routine load before comparing vans.
- Request range estimates with your usual cargo and winter temperatures.
- Compare purchase cost, charging downtime and repair costs together.
The concept revives a persuasive idea: compact electric transport for everyday work. Citroën still needs to supply the commercial specifications that would turn that idea into a purchasing decision.
