Citroen has announced that a commercial version of the Ami, its electric city car, will go on sale in the UK next year.
The Ami Cargo Electric features a payload of up to 140kg and a maximum load capacity of up to 400 litres, with the passenger seat installed in the two-seater car version being replaced with a seven-part polypropylene module for carrying goods.
The commercial model also features a vertical partition between the driver and cargo area, and a secondary modular shelf unit capable of holding up to 40kg, which can be converted into a desk when parked. There is also a two-way adjustable floor allowing the vehicle to carry larger items.
The Ami Cargo Electric features a 5.5kWh battery pack, allowing up to 46 miles of range on a single charge, with a full charge taking three hours.
The model is 2.41m long, 1.39m wide and 1.52m tall, and has a turning circle of 7.20m, which Citroen says makes it ideal for city driving.
The Ami Cargo Electric, which will be left-hand drive only, is available to reserve from today, with a £250 refundable fee, ahead of sales beginning next year.
Full launch timings, prices and specs are yet to be announced.
