Opt for the Moduwork load through flap in the full steel bulkhead, with folding side passenger seat, standard on Professional and Professional Plus models, and the overall loading length can be extended to a total of 4,024mm for items such as ladders or piping. New Expert Long load volume is extended to 6.1m3, or 6.6m3 with Moduwork. Gross payload for New Expert Long van models ranges between 1235kg and 1435kg.

In the passenger compartment, the Crew van features twin glazed sliding side doors with fixed side windows, equipped with noise-reducing, dark-tinted glass. A toughened plastic bulkhead is fitted behind the second row seats with a polycarbonate window enabling cab occupants to view the load area. Equipment includes air conditioning, cruise control with programmable speed limiter, front electric windows, electrically adjustable heated door mirrors and a full-size spare wheel. ESC electronic stability control is fitted as standard equipment along with remote central locking with deadlocks and separate locking for the cab.

A Peugeot Connect radio is fitted to the New Expert Crew van and features a 7-inch touchscreen with DAB digital radio, Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port and audio jack. Smartphone connectivity is enhanced with Mirror Link. A complete display of all Peugeot Expert van models at the CV Show included an Expert Compact Professional Panel van with Grip Control, to provide enhanced traction on-road in poor weather or for occasional off-road use.

Other models from the Peugeot light commercial vehicle range on show included: the Peugeot Boxer Professional Panel van, shown at the NEC as an L3H2 variant offering a load floor length of 3,705mm, with maximum interior height of 1,932mm and a 13m3 load volume.
