Peugeot Bipper

Peugeot Bipper is a small delivery van sold in France by French automaker Peugeot since 2007. It shares its body and most components with the current Citroën Nemo and Fiat Fiorino.

The Citroën Nemo, Fiat Fiorino II and Peugeot Bipper were developed jointly with Tofaş following a cooperation agreement signed on 31 March 2005. The vans are manufactured on behalf of all the partners in Bursa by Tofaş.

The claim is advanced that the Bipper a "mini-cargovan" designed for big and small cities, cheaper and a little smaller than the Peugeot Partner. It is asserted that the little van is easy to park, handy for deliveries, and faster than competitor vehicles.
