CITROEN DISPATCH

The design of the Citroën Dispatch is centred on convenience, comfort and safety. It’s available in 3 lengths, with a payload of up to 1400kg, 6.6m3 of useful volume and 4m of length, so whatever your business needs there’s likely to be room for them in this van.

Keyless entry and start is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to technology in the Dispatch. Grip control alters the traction of the wheels depending on the driving surface, ensuring the vehicle is optimised for the driving conditions. Meanwhile a transparent heads-up display which appears in your line of vision provides you with key driving data – speed, alerts etc – meaning you don’t need to take your eyes off the road. Staying in the cab the easy to use 7” tablet displays and controls a host of features including the build-in SatNav and can also be used to mirror your phone screen.

Another great new feature of the Dispatch is the option of hands-free side sliding doors. When you’ve got your hands full, a simple foot movement under the corner of the van both unlocks and fully opens the side door, simplifying loading and unloading. The same can be done to close the door, and as you walk away the van locks automatically.

Technology has also been harnessed to increase the safety of the Dispatch. Active Safety Brake reduces the likelihood of harm from collisions by avoiding them altogether at low speeds, or reducing speed to minimise damage at higher speeds. Blind-spot monitoring indicates with an orange light when there is a vehicle in your blind spot, and the adaptive speed adjusts vehicle speed to that of the vehicle infront. The Dispatch can also help to ensure you stay within the speed limit, as it detects speed limit signs and if you accept the limit it’ll adjust your speed accordingly.
