Dispatch goes off the road
CITRON HAS launched an enhancedtraction version of its Dispatch van, which has been badged XTR4-.
Designed for use off-road, the front-wheeldrive CV features an FAM reinforced-traction limited-slip differential, which transfers up to
75% of the engine's torque between the two wheels when slippage occurs.
Strengthening its off-road credentials are heavy-duty suspension and revised steering geometry, as well as underbody protection and snow and ice tyres.
Citroen makes the claim that the front-wheel-drive set-up incurs neither the costs nor the extra weight of a fully blown 4x4 vehicle.
This sort of arrangement also helps to accomodate a competitive payload.
Priced at £17,445 for the 1200 XTR+. the Dispatch is aimed at public utility, forestry and agriculture companies.
