The two companies have already a pretty extensive history in collaboration, with the forthcoming Citroen C-Zero and Peugeot i0n both based on the Mitsubishi iMiEV.
Now this collaboration has been extended with the news of a new feasibility study to be carried out by the two parties with the expectation of a new all electric light commercial vehicle being developed.
The study will centre around the development and supply of electric powertrains and will include an analysis of battery packaging.
There is no news yet on whether the light commercial vehicle will be based around an existing model or whether the partnership will collaborate on an entirely new vehicle. At TheGreenCarWebsite.co.uk we speculate that it would make sense to develop a new platform for any commercial application to minimise any loss of space that housing numerous battery packs would bring.
As always, more information when we get it.
