The Talbot Express, Fiat Ducato, Citroën C25, and Peugeot J5 were all variations of the same light commercial vehicle (LCV) produced from 1981 to 1994. This popular van, known for its versatility and durability, served as a workhorse across Europe and beyond. Born from a joint venture between French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroën and Italian giant Fiat, the model was offered with a variety of engine options, including petrol and diesel, ranging from 1.6 to 2.5 liters. Though each brand had its own distinctive styling, all versions shared the same basic platform, underpinned by a robust and reliable front-wheel-drive chassis. The Express, Ducato, C25, and J5 were available in various body configurations, including panel vans, chassis cabs, and even a minibus, allowing them to fulfill a diverse array of roles, from delivery trucks to mobile workshops to passenger transport. The vehicles were prized for their spacious cargo areas, offering impressive load-carrying capabilities, and for their rugged construction built to withstand the demands of commercial use.

Throughout its production run, the Talbot Express particularly garnered a strong reputation for its reliability and affordability, making it a popular choice for businesses of all sizes. The Fiat Ducato, on the other hand, was lauded for its fuel efficiency and its comprehensive range of engine and trim options. The Citroën C25 and Peugeot J5 were known for their robust build quality and their spacious interiors, catering to both practical and comfortable transportation requirements. Despite the successful run, the era of the original LCV platform came to an end in 1994, marking a significant chapter in the history of commercial vehicles. However, the legacy of these vans endures, with their successors, the Fiat Ducato, Citroën Jumper, and Peugeot Boxer, continuing to dominate the light commercial vehicle market today.
