The Talbot Express, Fiat Ducato, Citroen C25, and Peugeot J5 were a series of light commercial vehicles sharing a common platform and produced throughout the 1980s and 1990s. This successful range of vans and motorhomes was developed by a consortium of French and Italian manufacturers, with each brand contributing their own styling and branding to the shared design. The Talbot Express, produced by the British-owned Talbot company, was the first to hit the market in 1981, followed by the Fiat Ducato in 1981, the Citroën C25 in 1981, and lastly the Peugeot J5 in 1982. These vans offered a robust and reliable workhorse for various applications, from delivery and transportation to camper conversions.
The platform itself was designed by Italian automaker Fiat, while the engine options were sourced from Peugeot, Fiat, and even a diesel engine from the Ford Transit. The vans featured a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration, offering a solid platform for carrying heavy loads. The Talbot Express was particularly popular in the UK, while the Fiat Ducato enjoyed widespread success across Europe, becoming known for its practicality and affordability. The Citroen C25 and Peugeot J5 also gained their own loyal followings, contributing to the overall success of this shared platform. This family of vans offered a variety of body styles, including panel vans, crew cabs, and chassis cabs, which could be further customized for specific applications.
