Citroën has launched its most powerful LCV
models yet - the new Euro 5 Relay 35 HDi 180 6-speed manual panel van
and chassis cabs - which go on sale this month. Following on from the
introduction of the Euro 5 Nemo range earlier this year, this new Relay
engine is the next stage in Citroën’s programme of introducing even
lower emissions and more fuel efficient Euro 5 HDi engines across its
entire LCV range. |

The new Euro 5 Relay 35 HDi 180 6-speed
manual range replaces the previous Euro 4 Relay 35 HDi 160 6-speed
manual models. The new 3.0HDi Euro 5 180 engine delivers a 12.5% power
increase, up from 160hp to 180hp. Peak torque is unchanged at 400Nm,
but the new HDi 180 develops this at just 1,400rpm, 300rpm lower than
the superseded HDi 160 engine, for even greater driveability. |
Significant fuel efficiency has also
been achieved with the more powerful Euro 5 HDi 180 engine. On the
combined cycle, the Euro 5 Relay 35 L3H2 HDi 180 6-speed manual panel
van returns 33.2mpg - a 9.2% improvement over the Euro 4 Relay HDi 160
powered panel van’s 30.4mpg. Additionally, the Euro 5 Relay 35 L3H2 HDi
180 6-speed manual panel van’s CO2 emissions are just
224g/km, down 9% from the previous Euro 4 engine’s 246g/km.
Scott Michael, Citroën’s Commercial
Vehicles Operations Manager, comments; “The new low emission and fuel
efficient Euro 5 HDi 180 powered Relay models will be welcomed by
operators needing the benefits of both high payload and load hauling
performance, mated with optimum levels of fuel efficiency. We are
confident that when the complete Euro 5 Relay range is available later
this year it will offer very high standards of fuel efficiency and low
emissions, which will make it amongst the cleanest and greenest in its
class.”
