Peugeot records strong LCV sales

The Peugeot Bipper can provide a load capacity of up to 2.8 m3 when specified with the multi-flex passenger seat and a combined fuel consumption of 62.7 mpg.
Sales of the Peugeots Partner van also continue to go from strength to strength with sales up 35.1 per cent in the first quarter, compared to 2009.
