than a badge, the Peugeot Boxer even has an identical Tipmaster body. The two main differences are the Peugeot's 2.8 litre/125hp engine and a single multiadjustable passenger seat (similar to that for the driver) rather then the dual bench seat The narrower seat is a no-cost option and frees up considerable space in the centre of the cab, which could be useful for installing additional storage or tip position special equipment.
Our test vehicle was so new it had fewer than 200 miles on the clock and the engine was noticeably tight. There was no lack of power and torque the extra grunt made getting the laden vehicle off the start easier than with the smaller engined Citroen. It romped the hill climb five seconds faster than the Citroen that's around 9% quicker. But on the flat it needed more throttle than its smaller counterpart to overcome the engine's tightness and keep up the momentum. When that tightness goes, the engine will surely become noticeably more impressive rather than just measurably more impressive.
The Peugeots Tipmaster body is identical to the Citroen, although the bigger engine lost 60kg of payload limiting the weight that could be loaded into the back to 1,145kg (allowing 75kg for the dryer). With double-skinned sides and tailgate, the inside can take knocks from the load and retain a good-looking exterior. If damage cal does come through to the outside all the panels are replaceable. The floor coating is creditably Air hard, but slippery in the wet and with no lower limit

for those getting onto and off the body may be required. A
