1. Powertrain Options for Every Business Need

The Citroën Relay is designed to cater to diverse commercial needs, offering reliable diesel and electric powertrains. Whether you’re hauling heavy payloads or navigating urban environments, the Relay delivers efficiency, power, and flexibility to support your business operations.

For traditionalists prioritising performance and fuel efficiency, the Relay offers three diesel engine options:

• BlueHDi 140: Offered in two configurations—a 6-speed manual and an 8-speed automatic—this engine delivers 140 hp with an impressive 37.7 mpg for the manual and 32.8 mpg for the automatic. It strikes an excellent balance between power and efficiency. It is well-suited for urban deliveries and regional routes while providing the versatility needed for a wide range of business applications.
• BlueHDi 180: Equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this engine delivers a powerful 180 hp. While Citroën has not yet officially published its mpg figures, our estimates suggest an efficiency of around 29 mpg, depending on usage conditions. This engine is ideal for heavy payloads and longer journeys, ensuring even the most demanding tasks are handled with confidence and reliability.

For businesses looking to embrace zero-emission transport, the ë-Relay offers a sustainable and versatile solution. Equipped with a 270 hp electric motor and a 115 kWh battery, it provides an impressive range of up to 261 miles (WLTP) on a full charge. Fast-charging capability means the battery can reach 80% in just 55 minutes using a 50 kW DC charger, while a standard charge takes 11 hours with a 22 kW charger.

Engine	Transmission	Power (hp)	Range /mi	Battery kWh	Fast Charge	Standard Charge

Q1. How often would I need to charge the Citroën ë-Relay for my operational needs?

The average annual mileage per van in Great Britain is approximately 13,000 miles, translating to an average daily mileage of about 35 miles. Based on the Citroën ë-Relay’s full range of 261 miles, you would need to charge the vehicle approximately every 7.4 days under ideal conditions.

However, most users likely opt for fast charging, which charges the battery to 80% capacity. This reduces the effective range from 261 miles to 209 miles. Additionally, if the van operates with a 60% payload, we assume a conservative 20% reduction in range to account for the additional weight. This further decreases the range to approximately 167 miles.

With this adjusted range and the average daily mileage of 35 miles, you would likely need to recharge the Citroën ë-Relay approximately every 4.8 days.

Q2. What’s the average turnaround time for delivery when leasing a Citroën Relay?

The delivery time for a leased Citroën Relay depends on stock availability and customization requirements. If the van is in stock, delivery can typically be arranged within 10 days. For custom orders or electric models, the turnaround time is approximately 12 weeks, depending on the complexity of the order and supply chain factors.
