NEMO - a new light van


Surprising and useful features

Extenso: the folding passenger seat that folds away

The passenger seat in Nemo, which takes the name of Extenso, is available with two functions for an even wider range of functions. The seatback can be folded horizontally onto the seat cushion, or the entire seat can be stored under the floor, thus adding almost one metre to the load length. The available length is thus increased to almost 2.50 metres while the load volume is boosted by 0.3 m3 with a total useful volume of close to 2.8 m3.

A modular protective grid between the cab and the loading bay

The protective grid between the cab and the loading bay is modular, and designed to protect the cab across its entire width. If the vehicle is carrying long loads, the section behind the folded Extenso passenger seat pivots towards the driver to provide maximum protection. This has a twofold advantage. The length and load volume are optimised without any disassembly, and the driver is protected from loads carried on board. Nemo is also available with a conventional separation between the cab and loading area: panel or window partition, or a fixed grid.

Rear asymmetrical swing doors

Vans make frequent stops, so practical and easy access to the loading area is a must. For this reason, Nemo is fitted as standard with rear asymmetrical swing doors. The narrowest door is on the right. This makes it easier to access the back of the van when space is limited. The doors can also be easily opened to 180 degrees.
In countries where this is allowed by the highway code, the right-hand door - located on the same side as the foldaway seat - can be left open to carry very long loads. The registration plate and the third stop light - positioned on the left-hand swing door - can still be seen.

Tall, wide sliding side doors

Nemo is available with one or two sliding side doors to load bulky parcels. The useful height is 1,041 mm for a width of between 410 and 644 mm.

A complete range to meet varying requirements

Citroën is positioning Nemo, a vehicle of compact dimensions, as its entry-level commercial vehicle. This fourth model completes the existing line-up of three LCVS: the Berlingo, Jumpy and Jumper. With a range designed to meet the varying needs of customers in these segments (payload of up to 2 tonnes and load volume of between 2.35m3 and 17 m3), Citroën has the assets to strengthen its position as a major player in the market of light commercial vehicles. At end-August 2007, Citroën had 10% of the LCV European market (18 countries).
