00:32Being market leader is a great responsibility.
00:35You can't hide.
00:36You are under the spotlights.
00:38Customers look at you to see what's next.
00:41Stellantis Pro One, the commercial vehicle business unit, has reinvented professional mobility many times under different brand names.
00:48New architectures, new powertrains, new intelligent solutions that made work more productive and life on board more enjoyable.
00:57Features that have forever changed the history of commercial vehicles, often becoming the industry standard, such as three front seats
01:07and Euro-Palette compatibility.
01:09We even created the compact van segment in 1996 with Citroën, Berlingo and Peugeot Partner, which were the first proposed
01:17built vehicles in this category.
01:20Customers recognize our experience and know-how. This is the best-selling vehicle line in the Stellantis portfolio worldwide.
01:27All passenger cars and commercial vehicles included.
01:30In the C-Van segment, nearly half of European customers and more than 70% of Middle East and Africa
01:38customers choose this product offered through our five iconic brands.
01:43Our new smart compact van has been created both for them and for those who are not our customers yet.
01:50Let's now go and see our welcome to an exclusive open doors for commercial vehicle specialists.
02:01Good ideas do not come out of the blue. They come from know-how and insight. But how do they
02:07generate breakthrough products?
02:09We have many powerful brands and they rely on different customers who have diverse stories and expectations.
02:17This variety represents a competitive advantage for us. In every business, things happen by adding new layers to the original
02:26idea,
02:27but at the same time, cleaning it up with uncompromised focus on customer needs.
02:33This is a healthy process that makes design more efficient.
02:37The question we started from was how can we extract more room and functionality from a compact van
02:44where all the spaces have already been carefully optimized, customer insight gave us the answer.
02:51We noticed that about 40% of our customers in this segment do not specify the third-seater configuration.
02:58Carrying passenger is obviously not a priority for them.
03:02This depends, of course, on the nature of their mission.
03:06For example, most urban deliveries are made by a single operator.
03:10As a matter of fact, when we asked our target to estimate how often they have a passenger on board,
03:16they answered that they travel alone for close to 90% of time.
03:21Thanks to this insight, we imagined how to increase the versatility of our compact van.
03:27We decided to put to good use what was previously an empty spot,
03:31the passenger seat that was left unused most of the time by most customers.
03:37By doing this, we literally created more room, more functionality and more value.
03:44Our new smart compact van comes equipped with the new modular flexi seat,
03:49which operate an array of new opportunities.
03:51But we didn't stop here. We asked ourselves another fundamental question.
03:56How can we offer all these at a very accessible price?
04:00We carefully evaluated all vehicle features to distinguish those that users consider truly essential
04:07from those that are merely nice to have.
04:10The customer promise we make with our new smart compact van is very simple.
04:15All skills. No frills. Mind.
04:19This is far from being a striped version.
04:22Everything customers need is there. We made no compromise on capability.
04:27The new smart compact van has the same external and internal size of the existing model.
04:33Two lengths with payload up to one tone, loading volume up to 4.4 cubic meters,
04:39and same converter interface.
04:41The product content is the same as the current entry level,
04:45including sliding door, 12 driving assistance systems, and 100% connectivity,
04:51with the addition of the modular flexi seat offered as a standard.
04:56As many as 12 other features can be specified as options.
05:00They include 10 inches touchscreen, infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto,
05:05rear view camera, and up to the three-seater configuration.
05:09Flexibility extends across the entire lifecycle.
05:13Upgrades are possible at any moment.
05:16When your needs evolve, you can change the configuration.
05:19Talking about design.
05:22Front bumper, dashboard, and door panels are specific to this version,
05:27and focused on robustness and functionality.
05:30The proportional range is aligned with our multi-energy strategy.
05:35It aims to drive the electric transition while answering to the demand of affordable products.
05:42At the core of our line-up, there's a new LiDAR BEV powertrain,
05:47allowing for 270 km range, the right autonomy level to cover all one-day emissions.
05:54But we also offer three internal combustion powertrains,
05:57two diesels and one petrol, coupled with manual transmission.
06:01And next year, we will launch a mild hybrid version, a first ever in this segment.
06:07A highly competitive compact van, designed to treat a wide range of missions
06:13and satisfy different types of customers, from fleet managers to user-choosers,
06:18including young operators looking to enter the transportation sector.
06:23This will be the van of choice, not only for price-sensitive buyers,
06:27but for the most demanding professional customers.
06:31We'll appreciate the unique selling proposition, represented by the modular flexi-seat
06:36and by a number of smart cabin configurations.
06:45Let's go into details.
06:47With this brand new flexible passenger seat configuration, we have reinvented the cabin.
06:58This is an essential feature for the anti-project, and one which represents an absolute novelty in this class.
07:08Plexi-seat is a folding passenger seat which creates space for items like bags, toolkits, small appliances,
07:17or packages up to the size of a standard delivery box.
07:22This means having additional room available when the cargo area is full,
07:27but without sacrificing the seat that can be easily opened if required.
07:33A very appealing solution for both maintenance and delivery missions.
07:40Plexi-seat is a standard content that can be integrated with a number of options
07:45that further increase the versatility and usability of the cabin.
07:51As an example, a module table can be added.
07:56This is a folding table that can be stored in the van's cargo area,
08:02easily mounted in the cabin and used as a desk for eating or relaxing
08:07or as a laptop stand with access to a 220 volt power outlet.
08:14To those who specify the three-seater bench,
08:18module walk is also available, allowing three different combinations.
08:24Two passengers, of course, or one passenger and a sliding table,
08:29or even one passenger and room for long objects over 3.4 meters
08:36with a storage under the central seat.
08:40The try-to-over creates additional useful space under the driver's seat.
08:47Dashbox adds the convenience of a closed box on the dashboard
08:51where you can store your smartphone, for example,
08:55sunglasses or work gloves in an easily accessible and protected area.
09:01And finally, the module console is a removable central console
09:07that further increases capacity by providing storage space and a cup holder
09:13with the possibility to remove it, for instance, added room.
09:20Intelligently functional and incredibly affordable at the same time,
09:25our new smart compact van marks a turning point in this segment.
09:29Capabilities with no compromise, versatility like never before,
09:36and ultimately value like never before.
