The German brand Opel, part of the Stellantis corporation, has revealed details about the updated one-ton Vivaro van, which, together with other brothers of the K0 family will stay on the conveyor for an indefinitely long time.
This fall, Stellantis has completely revamped its European light commercial vehicle (LCV) line-up and launched its new global commercial vehicle division, Stellantis Pro One, with the goal of catching and overtaking Ford in LCV sales. The group premiere of the European LCV line of the Stellantis corporation took place on October 23, followed by more detailed presentations of each model. This week it was the turn to take a closer look at the updated Opel Vivaro.
The current Opel Vivaro on the French EMP2 platform has been produced since 2019 and together with the related Citroen Jumpy, Fiat Scudo, Peugeot Expert and Toyota Proace, it makes up an extensive family of one-tonne K0 vans, minivans based on these vans have their own names, for Opel it is Zafira Life.
In connection with the premiere of the updated Opel Combo, we told you that Stellantis management, for reasons of economy, decided to extend the life cycle of all its existing commercial platforms in the LCV segment for an indefinite period. Moreover, from 2025, production of the K0 family will be established in Turkey. Now models of this family are produced in France, Great Britain and Germany, and hydrogen-electric versions of vans are exclusively made in Rüsselsheim, Germany. Contract assembly of Citroen Jumpy and Peugeot Expert is also carried out in Uruguay at the Nordex plant. Production of the K0 family in Kaluga, Russia, was stopped last year due to well-known geopolitical events.
