The Citroën Jumpy (badged Citroën Dispatch in some countries) is a light commercial vehicle produced at Sevel Nord since 1994, now in its second generation. The Jumpy was later rebadged from 1995 and sold as the Peugeot Expert—and then from 1996 as the Fiat Scudo. All three models were facelifted in 2004 before being replaced by new second generation models in 2007. These 2007 onwards models again all share the same design and engineering, with subtle trim changes between each brand. The second generation received a small facelift in 2012, and from 2013, Toyota began sales of a rebadged version called Toyota ProAce.

On 1 December 2015, Citroën, Peugeot and Toyota have unveiled their new generation of these vehicles, in people-carrying specifications now called Citroën Space Tourer, Peugeot Traveller, with Toyota retaining the ProAce name. Commercial versions will debut later, retaining the Peugeot Expert and Citroën Jumpy names. In 2016, Fiat Scudo will be replaced by a second generation of Fiat Talento which is a rebadged Renault Trafic.

First generation (1994–2006)

Citroën released the first generation Jumpy in June 1994, opting to rename the model "'Dispatch'" in English-speaking markets such as the United Kingdom. Peugeot and Fiat followed with rebadged models in July 1995 and February 1996, respectively. The vans differ little technically and visually, being a prime example of badge engineering. They share mechanicals and body structure with the Sevel Nord Eurovans minivans: the Citroën Evasion (Synergie), Fiat Ulysse, Lancia Zeta, and Peugeot 806.

The engines available throughout the models do differ, with the Fiat getting its own engines separate from those fitted to the Citroën and Peugeot. The Fiat Scudo replaces Fiat 900T.

Facelift

The model received a slight facelift in 2004, which changed most of the front end; including the bumper, bonnet, and for the first time, the headlamps were combined with the indicator rather than being a separate set of lights.

Second generation (2007–2016)

The second generation gained an increase in cargo space and more body styles over the older generation. It was launched in November 2006, with deliveries beginning in principal markets in January 2007.

The new Citroën is available in 90 bhp, 120 bhp (89 kW; 122 PS) and 136 bhp (101 kW; 138 PS) versions with the option of 4 diesel engines or one petrol/gasolene engine:

The Peugeot Expert II was launched in January 2007, with the addition of a people-carrier Tepee model.

The Fiat Scudo is a medium-sized van, larger than the Fiat Doblo and smaller than the Ducato vans. The "Combinato" version, which is a basic Scudo van with rear seats and windows.

This PSA/Fiat joint venture is reported by Reuters to end in 2017.

Facelift

The model received a slight facelift in 2011, which changed the grille and front bumper. From 2013, Toyota began sales of a rebadged version called Toyota ProAce.

Third generation (2016–present)

At the 2016 Geneva Motor Show Citroën, Peugeot and Toyota revealed their latest generation of their respective vans. With this new generation the vans became more contemporary and the Citroën and Peugeot models gained new names for the passenger versions, Citroën SpaceTourer and Peugeot Traveller, with the Toyota partially keeping the ProAce name with the ProAce Verso.

Commercial variants have been released in 2016 under the Citroën Jumpy, Peugeot Expert and Toyota ProAce names.
