The Citroën Jumpy—known as the Citroën Dispatch in certain markets—is a light commercial vehicle co-developed by FCA Italy and PSA Group (currently under Stellantis), initially manufactured through their joint enterprise, Sevel, starting in 1994. This model is also marketed under different badges including the Peugeot Expert, Fiat Scudo, Opel Vivaro, and Toyota ProAce.

In March 2004, all three versions received a facelift before the release of their second generation in 2007. The updated models shared core engineering and styling, differing only slightly in brand-specific trim details. A minor refresh was applied to the second generation in February 2012. From July 2013 onward, Toyota introduced a rebadged variant named the Toyota Proace.

December 2015 saw the launch of new passenger-oriented models: the Citroën SpaceTourer and Peugeot Traveller, while Toyota continued with the Proace nameplate. The commercial variants retained the original names, Peugeot Expert and Citroën Jumpy.

In May 2016, Fiat discontinued the Scudo and replaced it with the second-generation Fiat Talento, a rebadged Renault Trafic. Beginning with the 2019 model year, the Jumpy was rebranded as the Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro, succeeding the earlier Vivaro that had been based on the Renault Trafic from 2001 to 2019. From 2022 onwards, the Jumpy also adopted the Fiat Scudo name again, taking over from the Talento model which had been derived from the Renault Trafic between 2016 and 2020.

First generation (1994)

The initial generation of the Jumpy was launched by Citroën in June 1994, marketed as "Dispatch" in English-speaking countries. The rebadged versions by Peugeot and Fiat followed in July 1995 and February 1996 respectively. These vans exhibit minimal visual and technical variation, serving as a prime example of badge engineering.

They share structural components and mechanical systems with Sevel Nord’s Eurovans minivans: Citroën Evasion (also known as Synergie), Fiat Ulysse, Lancia Zeta, and Peugeot 806. Engine selections differ, with Fiat employing unique power units distinct from those used by Citroën and Peugeot. The Fiat Scudo succeeded the first-generation Fiat Talento.

Facelift

In 2004, a facelift refreshed the model’s front fascia by redesigning the bumper and bonnet. For the first time, headlamps were integrated with indicators into a single unit.

Second generation (G9; 2007)

Introduced in November 2006 with deliveries commencing in January 2007, the second generation Scudo featured enhanced cargo capacity alongside a broader selection of body configurations. Engine options comprised one petrol unit (2.0 L DOHC EW10) and four diesel variants, including the 1.6 L Ford DLD-416 and multiple PSA JTD versions. Transmission systems were available as either 5- or 6-speed manual gearboxes, as well as a 6-speed automatic from Aisin.

Simultaneously, Peugeot unveiled the Expert II, which included an additional minivan version named the Tepee, designed specifically for passenger transport segments. Manufacturing took place at the Sevel Nord facility in France.

The collaborative production effort between PSA and Fiat for these models concluded in March 2016.


Facelift

In February 2012, the model received a subtle update featuring revisions to the grille and front bumper design. Starting July 2013, Toyota introduced a rebadged version called the Toyota Proace. Meanwhile, production of the Fiat Scudo ceased during the summer of 2012.

2010–2016

2010–2016


At the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the third generation of vans from Citroën, Peugeot, and Toyota was introduced. The passenger versions were renamed as the Citroën SpaceTourer, Peugeot Traveller, and Toyota Proace Verso. Meanwhile, the commercial models were launched in March 2016 under the names Citroën Jumpy, Peugeot Expert, and Toyota Proace.

In 2019, Opel/Vauxhall transitioned the Vivaro to the PSA EMP2 platform. Later, in 2022, Fiat brought back its Scudo and Ulysse nameplates on this same architecture, replacing the Talento which had been based on the Renault Trafic.

To comply with EU CAFE standards aimed at lowering average CO₂ emissions, Stellantis stopped offering internal combustion engine passenger vans in most European territories starting January 2022. As a result, the SpaceTourer, Traveller, and Zafira Life are now available exclusively as electric or hydrogen-powered models. However, panel vans and Toyota-branded variants continue to be sold without changes due to regulatory differences.

Production

Since 2017, assembly of the Citroën Jumpy and Peugeot Expert has taken place via CKD operations in Montevideo, Uruguay. By October 2019, Nordex S.A. had manufactured approximately 13,000 units, primarily destined for export markets such as Brazil and Argentina.

PSA commenced manufacturing the Peugeot Expert and Citroën Jumpy at its Kaluga facility in Russia in April 2018. The Traveller and SpaceTourer followed a month later. By December 2019, Opel’s Zafira Life was added to production lines in Kaluga, with the Vivaro joining shortly afterward.

In September 2018, PSA announced that from late 2019 onward, the Luton plant would produce the third-generation Citroën Jumpy/Dispatch/SpaceTourer and Peugeot Expert/Traveller models, alongside the second-generation Toyota ProAce and ProAce Verso. These vehicles would also be marketed as Opel/Vauxhall Zafira Life/Vivaro Life/Vivaro, replacing the earlier Trafic-based Vivaro.

Starting February 2022, Stellantis began exporting some vehicles produced in Kaluga to Western Europe. However, in March 2022 these exports ceased following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, effectively ending this export operation.

GS

October 2022 saw the introduction of a sportier GS trim for the Vauxhall Vivaro, which also featured an upgraded diesel engine delivering increased power.

Electric versions

Multiple Stellantis brands along with Toyota offer electric "eK0" variants equipped with a shared 100 kW electric motor producing 260 Nm of torque. This powertrain is also utilized in smaller models like the Citroën e-Berlingo as well as PSA/Stellantis electric passenger cars such as the Peugeot e-208. The e-Berlingo is fitted with a 50 kWh battery pack; meanwhile, the e-Jumpy and its rebadged counterparts provide an optional larger battery of 75 kWh that boosts WLTP range from 144 miles up to 205 miles. Standard charging capacity is 7.4 kW AC with an optional upgrade to an 11 kW AC charger.

Peugeot launched the electric e-Expert van in 2019, utilizing the same platform as the Vivaro-e. The electric passenger version, known as the e-Traveller, was introduced in June 2020. These electric models distinguish themselves from their diesel counterparts by featuring a solid grille, an instrument cluster displaying battery charge status, and refreshed infotainment visuals.

Citroën ë-Jumpy/ë-Dispatch/ë-SpaceTourer

The Citroën ë-Jumpy (also called ë-Dispatch) is closely aligned with the Peugeot e-Expert cargo van, while the ë-SpaceTourer corresponds to the Peugeot e-Traveller passenger variant.

Opel Vivaro-e/Zafira-e Life

Opel presented the fully electric Vivaro-e in April 2020, offered in three different lengths and capable of carrying payloads up to 1,275 kg (2,811 lbs). In the United Kingdom, this model is marketed under the Vauxhall brand. Its passenger version carries the name Opel Zafira-e Life.

On 18 May 2021, Opel unveiled the Vivaro-e Hydrogen, equipped with a 45 kW fuel cell paired with a 10.5 kW lithium-ion battery and a payload capacity of 1,100 kg (compared to 1,200 kg for the Vivaro-e electric and 1,400 kg for the traditional Vivaro). The hydrogen storage tanks are provided by Symbio, a collaboration between Michelin and Faurecia. Peugeot soon followed with its own e-Expert Hydrogen model. These vehicles are assembled at the Valenciennes facility and undergo hydrogen conversion at Opel's former factory in Rüsselsheim.

Toyota Proace Electric

Toyota’s Proace Electric, offered in both passenger (Verso) and cargo variants, represents its inaugural fully electric passenger vehicle for the European market and shares its architecture with Groupe PSA’s electric vans.

Fiat E-Scudo/E-Ulysse

Fiat introduced the E-Ulysse in March 2022 as an electric iteration of its passenger van. The corresponding cargo version is branded as the E-Scudo.

Iveco eJolly

In June 2025, Iveco launched the eJolly alongside the larger eSuperJolly, positioned beneath the Daily and alongside the eMoovy as Iveco’s smallest electric van offerings.

Hydrogen

On May 18, 2021, Opel revealed the Vivaro-e Hydrogen, which offers a payload capacity of , compared to for its electric and combustion engine counterparts. This model integrates a 45 kW fuel cell with a 10.5 kW lithium-ion battery. The hydrogen tanks are supplied by Symbio, a joint venture between Michelin and Faurecia. Shortly afterward, Peugeot launched its e-Expert Hydrogen and Citroën debuted its ë-Jumpy Hydrogen. Production takes place at the Valenciennes plant, with hydrogen conversion handled at Opel’s former Rüsselsheim facility.

H Van inspired derivatives

In 2017, Italian company FC Automobili introduced a contemporary reinterpretation of the Citroën H Van based on the Citroën Relay, offering retro-styled coach-built conversions available either fully assembled or as body kits. This release coincided with the Type H’s 70th anniversary, marked by a production run of 70 units. Renamed Caselani Carrosserie, the firm expanded its portfolio by adding a smaller 'Type HG' model derived from the Citroën Jumpy. Both versions can be equipped with either internal combustion engines or electric powertrains.

Type Holidays Prototype

During the 2023 Caravan Salon held in Germany, Citroën introduced the Type Holidays, a campervan derived from the Spacetourer platform, featuring body styling inspired by the iconic Citroën H Van. Designed by Caselani, this concept incorporates a pop-up roof providing additional sleeping quarters, an integrated kitchenette, and a foldable bench seat. Citroën announced that the Type Holidays serves as a preview for a forthcoming series of vehicles under the 'Holidays' label, aimed specifically at enthusiasts of van life and vacation travelers.
