As we reported in the runup to the show, both Peugeot and Citroen are showing full production versions of their Partner (above) and Berlingo (below) respectively.
Peugeot also has a van version of its diminutive electric iOn, part of a joint venture with Mitsubishi and Citroen.
And Mercedes-Benz has extended its offering in the field by debuting an all-electric Sprinter (above in chassis cab form so the powertrain can be viewed), and a crewbus variant of its Vito electric van (below) launched two years ago.
M-B offers 4-year/80,000kms rental schemes for its electric vans, and some 500 units of the Vito have gone into service since it was launched. Both EV models have a claimed range of 130kms on a charge, and a 5-hour recharge is possible with a 380v supply.
Meanwhile, companion Daimler brand Mitsubishi Fuso is showing off two units of its latest Eco-Hybrid Canter 7.5-tonne chassis cab, one with a municipal refuse unit and the other a box van.
Up to ten years warranty is available on the battery components, and Fuso says fuel consumption with the powertrain is 25 percent better than with standard diesel.
The company's view of sales is indicated by the fact that the Eco-Hybrid will now be built in Europe at its factory in Portugal. Previous versions had to come from Japan.
Finally, Nissan showed an electric concept of its NV400 large van, and a concept mid-sized refrigerated refrigerated box van, powered by a similar motor to that in the Leaf electric car.
