Citroën has expanded its 2CV revival with a modern Fourgonette van concept, reworking the front section of its new electric 2CV hatchback concept into a compact commercial vehicle. The van replaces the hatchback’s rear seating with a squared-off cargo area.

Production has not been confirmed for the Fourgonette, although the related 2CV hatchback is expected to become a production model for 2028. The concept revives the name and basic utility of the original 2CV-based panel van, which was built from 1951 to 1978.

A compact electric cargo vehicle

The modern Fourgonette is designed around urban deliveries and short-distance commercial use. Its cargo area can be accessed through split rear doors or a side panel that flips upward, giving operators two loading points in a small footprint.

Citroën has not disclosed the battery size for the electric 2CV hatchback, and no powertrain details have been provided for the van concept. A small battery could suit the Fourgonette’s intended role, since short urban routes generally do not require the longest possible driving range.

The concept could also occupy a lower price position than Citroën’s existing electric van range if it reaches production. The ë-Berlingo starts at more than €24,000, while Citroën has said the 2CV hatchback will cost around €15,000. That difference suggests a Fourgonette derivative could be positioned as a more affordable electric commercial vehicle, although no van pricing has been announced.

Design based on the 2CV hatchback

The Fourgonette uses the front half of the electric 2CV concept, while its rear body adopts a practical box shape. Citroën has not shown the van’s interior, but it could share the hatchback concept’s basic layout while leaving out some of the more playful design details and colors.

The panel van would also lose the hatchback’s retractable roof. A simple cabin with a one-spoke steering wheel and straightforward seating would fit the vehicle’s commercial purpose, though these details remain expectations rather than confirmed specifications.

Citroën CEO Xavier Chardon described the original Fourgonette as more than a work vehicle, highlighting its role in everyday life and its combination of simplicity, usefulness and character. The new concept applies that identity to a compact electric van, but its move from design study to production remains unconfirmed.
