The Citroën C15, Berlingo, Berlingo Familiale, Dispatch, and Relay are a range of light commercial vehicles produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1984 to 2005. The C15 was the original model, launched in 1984 as a successor to the Citroën Acadiane. It was a small, basic van designed for light-duty work, with a rear-wheel drive layout and a 1.1-liter petrol engine. The Berlingo, introduced in 1996, was a more modern and versatile van, with a front-wheel drive layout and a range of petrol and diesel engines. It was available in both panel van and passenger carrying versions, with the Berlingo Familiale being the latter. The Dispatch and Relay were larger vans, launched in 1994 and 1998 respectively, aimed at heavier duty applications. They offered a range of diesel engines and a choice of body styles, including panel vans, crew cabs, and platform trucks.
Across the model range, these utility vehicles were known for their practicality and reliability. They offered spacious cargo areas, versatile seating configurations, and robust construction, making them popular choices for businesses and tradespeople. While basic in their design, they provided crucial functionality and affordability. The C15 was particularly renowned for its resilience and ease of maintenance, being a workhorse for many tradespeople. The Berlingo series offered a more modern take on the utility vehicle, introducing features like sliding side doors and a higher roofline for increased cargo space. Their varied powertrains provided a good balance between performance and efficiency, making them suitable for a range of tasks. The larger Dispatch and Relay models provided even more carrying capacity and versatility, becoming popular choices for larger businesses involved in deliveries or heavier transport. While they have been discontinued, these vehicles remain in service in many parts of the world, serving as a testament to their durability and practicality.
