The first Toyota PROACE vehicles were based since 2013 on the current generation Peugeot Expert and Citroën Jumpy vehicles. It was agreed at the start of the collaboration in 2012 that the companies would work together on next generation vehicles, and that the collaboration would last beyond 2020.
The aim of the collaboration is for both companies to be able to offer a competitive product in the mid-size light commercial vehicle, shuttle and Combi segments and benefit from development and production cost optimisation. The vehicles are produced at PSA Peugeot Citroen's plant of Sevelnord, in Valenciennes, France.
Toyota Motor Europe participated in the development and industrial investment costs for the new vehicles.
The vehicles share all technical features, powertrains, and equipment and propose a distinctive styling rooted in each of the brand's design language.
