Design & Presence

The Expert Bus wears Peugeot's commercial face: a square, functional body softened by a more modern grille and relatively slim headlights that stop it looking like an anonymous box. Available in two lengths — 4.98 m (L2) and 5.33 m (L3) — it has a purposeful, shuttle-like presence on city streets and motorways alike. With seating for 9 and four doors it reads as a small coach rather than a people-carrier trying too hard to be stylish. Top speed is capped at 130 km/h, which underlines its role as a comfortable mover rather than a sports bus.

Interior & Usability

The cabin mixes hard-wearing plastics with practical touches aimed at daily use: durable surfaces, easily wiped upholstery and sensible storage cubbies where drivers actually need them. Seating configurations are straightforward and the seats are aimed at comfort for short to medium journeys rather than long-haul luxury, so posture and support are adequate for shuttles and school runs. Sliding side doors and a wide, low tailgate make boarding and luggage handling effortless, while the layout keeps switches and screens within easy reach for busy drivers.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Space is the Expert Bus’s strong suit: usable luggage volumes start around 3,061–3,497 litres and can be extended to a maximum of roughly 3,968–4,554 litres with seats folded or removed, so multiple suitcases, pushchairs or bulky gear fit without gymnastics. The bus can carry useful loads too, with payloads up to about 982 kg depending on the spec, though heavier batteries add curb weight and reduce that figure. The longer L3 gives noticeably more boot and legroom, making it the better pick when cargo or row spacing matters. In practice that means hotel shuttles, sports teams and work crews can move people and kit in one trip rather than two.

Driving & Handling

Under the skin the e-Expert delivers 136 hp (100 kW) and 270 Nm to the front wheels via a single-speed reduction gearbox, so initial pull in town is brisk but motorway overtakes are leisurely with 0–100 km/h in roughly 13.3–14.2 seconds. The steering is light and aimed at manoeuvrability rather than feedback, which helps in tight urban turns but leaves the van with some body roll when unloaded. Suspension is tuned to prioritise comfort and stability with a load, so the ride firms up predictably when fully occupied. Overall manners are reassuring and practical — not sporty, but exactly what a people-mover needs.

Efficiency, Consumption & Range

Energy use is modest for a large electric people carrier, sitting around 24.2–24.6 kWh/100 km depending on length and battery, and WLTP range figures spread from about 218–221 km on the smaller 50 kWh pack up to roughly 345–348 km with the 75 kWh battery. In everyday use expect those top numbers only under gentle driving and light loads; a full complement of passengers, luggage and motorway cruising will pull the real range down noticeably. For urban shuttle work and short intercity hops the larger battery gives genuine flexibility, while the smaller pack suits predictable daily routes and overnight depot charging.

Assistance & Infotainment

The Expert Bus offers the modern suite of driver aids commonly found in light commercial vehicles, with options that can include adaptive cruise, lane-keep aids and parking sensors or camera packs to simplify tight manoeuvres. Infotainment is sensible rather than flashy: a centrally mounted screen with smartphone mirroring, Bluetooth and navigation functions that keep drivers connected and passengers content. Controls are laid out for quick use between stops and visibility from the driver’s seat is good for monitoring passengers and traffic. Safety tech and connectivity are aimed at fleet usage, with modularity depending on chosen trim and options.

Who is it for?

The e-Expert Bus is aimed squarely at operators and families who need quiet, zero-emission people-moving without bells and whistles: hotel shuttles, corporate transport, schools and community services will value the nine-seat layout and flexible cargo space. Fleets that can plan charging conveniently will get the most from the 75 kWh option for longer duty cycles, while urban operators with predictable runs can save weight and cost with the 50 kWh pack. It’s a pragmatic, comfortable electric people-carrier that trades sporting pretence for low running costs, sensible space and day-to-day practicality.
