History of the Citroën Nemo

A joint small van

The Nemo belongs to the current generation of the Fiat Fiorino family, the Sevel LAV, which was developed jointly by PSA Peugeot Citroën and Fiat on the Fiat Small platform and is now sold under the Stellantis groups formed by their merger. Like the Fiorino, which takes its name from the fiorino d’oro, an old Italian coin known in English as the florin, the Nemo is a compact high-roof van built for city deliveries.

Three badges, one van

The panel van is sold as the Fiat Fiorino, the Citroën Nemo and the Peugeot Bipper, and the same body is offered as a passenger car under the Fiat Qubo name. Within each brand it sits below the larger vans: the Fiat Doblò, the Citroën Berlingo and the Peugeot Partner.

Design and features

  • Compact city van: a high-roof body on the Fiat Small platform.
  • Three badges: Fiat Fiorino, Citroën Nemo and Peugeot Bipper.
  • Passenger version: the Fiat Qubo shares the same body.
  • Smaller than the Berlingo: the bottom of Citroën’s van range.

Citroën Nemo versions

  • Citroën Nemo: the panel van and glazed van versions.
  • Fiat Fiorino: the same van with a Fiat badge.
  • Peugeot Bipper: the Peugeot version.
  • Fiat Qubo: the passenger version.

The Nemo sits below the Berlingo and above the car-derived vans of the past such as the C15. More vehicles are in the Citroën collection.
