The last time Pan Nigeria produced its last edition of a Peugeot pickup vehicle was 14 years ago.

However, the Nigeria-affiliate of the French auto brand just launched a pickup model into its Nigerian market.

The vehicle is produced in the auto firm’s assembly plant in Nigeria.

The company production of pickup dates as far back in 1956 – when it began with the Peugeot 403 Camionnette-Bâchée, ; the Peugeot 404 Camionnette-Bâchée of 1967, and then the Peugeot 504 pickup, which succeeded it until 2005, the last year of production at Pan Nigeria Limited, assemblers of the Peugeot brand of vehicles.



The new pickup model features a good measure of roominess and equipment, thus fulfilling the fundamental needs for robustness, endurance and the 4×4 drivetrain.

The vehicles also features a high body belt line, a vertical front, a horizontal bonnet and a large ground clearance (210mm to 215 mm).

The load zone has a bed that is 1.40m long and 1.39m wide, equipped with anchoring hooks on the outside. The side walls and the real panel are completely covered with a protective resin which adds to the rigidity and robustness of the whole vehicle. The maximum payload of the vehicle is 815kg.

The new pickup is said to have a performance drivetrain adapted to the needs of the core market, adding that its longitudinal 2.5 litre common rail turbo diesel engine develops 115bhp and 280Nm, combined with a manual five-speed gearbox. It is available in 4×4 and 4×2 versions. According to the firm, the 4×4 version is engaged using a special lever to transmit some of the power to the front drivetrain.



The 4×4 version is reported to give the new vehicle versatility, easy use in every weather condition and all terrains.

“This allows the driver to make a selection where needed, whether in normal 4×4 4H (4 High) mode or in the 4L (4 Low) mode at short speeds. Thanks to a reducer, extra torque can be applied at very slow speeds to manoeuvre out of the most extreme driving situations,” it states.

Other features of the vehicle are manual air-conditioning, electric windows, radio with CD player and USB port.

“For safety and ease of driving, the new Peugeot pickup is equipped as standard with an ABS braking system with brakeforce distribution, rear parking aids, passenger and driver air bags, plus electrically adjustable exterior mirrors”, Pan says.

You should also produce something valuable.

Resumes "assembling"

I wanna see J5

WOW! Quite impressive. If only government can compel these foreign auto manufacturers to set up plants in Nigeria, brand new vehicles will definitely become affordable for the average person and you'll see a situation where these auto manufacturers will start begging you to collect their cars on hire purchase. We'll surely get there soon.

Until I see, I won't believe. Na so dem take mouth resume under Jonathan too.

Let them start advertising for vacancies. Let them start plying the roads.

5 % people would not like this cuz all what they want to hear is bad news but God will continue to disappoint them

Wow. I am not a pick-up person but this is really cool

Gradually, all the lost glory shall come back

The vehicle is produced in the auto firm’s assembly plant in Nigeria.

What a useless government. This Administration has not done anything.

Cant they buy Innoson?

Buhari must go

That's the main pick up we grew up to know.
They failed to restrategise and allowed Toyota to take over the pick up market with Hilux.
Hope they take over the market.
Nice product .

And all some people see is bad economy

Jobs loading

Automatic gear is better

I'm sure he's unaware of this development

Waiting for Cilic, the Madrid dreamer, deposed Sarki, advanced Suya seller and the remaining BMCs to come say it's a project of the 'dysfunctional gwabament'

if PDP are thieves then APC are armed Robbers, if PDP are criminals then APC are terrorists, if PDP are corrupt then APC are lucifers... *
If Nigerians are not hypocrites, why are we supporting Baba to neclect ASUU, even if ASUU have faults yets we are the end-victims. What has change since 2015 on *Education, Health, Social welfare, Transportaion & local security?.*
-Let's learn to say the truth especially on issues that affect our *lives, governance and collective affairs.* Nobody can brainwash me into believing things that all of us know were political lies aimed at continuous domination of the people.
-Buhari is human, can make mistakes. He is sorrounded by both good and bad, selfless and selfish, transparent and corrupt people, why then are we acting as if he is God? when*Insecurity, systematic corruption, poor condition and selective prosecution* are like Jonathan Era.
Say, think and do what you feel is right, but *because many will never forgive him for his inability to truly protect the people.* Many people have paid & are still paying Millions of Naira as Ransom to Kidnappers, *will Buhari compensate them?,* since he cannot provide adequate security?.
-We voted him because we thought he is better than Jonathan, but he allowed the *Tinubus, Osinbajos, Fasholas* and others to be control him Indirectly. He is no more the *"Action GMB"*
