Peugeot remains the UK's top-selling electric van manufacturer in 2024, according to the latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

Peugeot's share of the electric light commercial vehicle (e-LCV) market has grown to 16.7% so far this year, up 2.7% compared to 2023. The brand's e-LCV sales volume has also increased by 12%, with 1,480 units sold.

The new Peugeot e-Partner is currently manufactured at Ellesmere Port, the UK's first EV-only volume manufacturing plant. Peugeot, along with its sister Stellantis brands, is the only manufacturer producing electric and light commercial vehicles in the UK.
