The Talbot Express, Fiat Ducato, Citroën C25, and Peugeot J5 were a series of light commercial vehicles (LCVs) that were produced from 1981 to 1994. They were jointly developed by the French car manufacturer PSA Peugeot Citroën and the Italian car manufacturer Fiat, with each brand selling the vehicle under their own name. The vehicles were designed to replace the previous generation of LCVs from each manufacturer, such as the Talbot (previously Simca) and the Peugeot J4.
The vehicles were all based on the same platform and shared many components, including the engine, transmission, and suspension. They were available in a variety of body styles, including van, panel van, crew cab, and chassis cab, and offered a wide range of engines, including diesel and petrol options. Despite their shared origins, each brand offered its own unique styling and features. The Talbot Express, for example, was known for its distinct grille and headlights, while the Fiat Ducato featured a more rounded design. The Citroën C25 and Peugeot J5 were closer in appearance, but each had subtle differences in their front end styling. All models were known for their ruggedness, practicality, and reliability, making them popular choices for businesses and individuals alike. The range of vehicles played a significant role in their respective brands' success during the 1980s and early 1990s, and they remain popular today in the used market.
