Stellantis Vigo Builds Its Two-Millionth K9 Van

Executives called the achievement proof of the group's light‑commercial vehicle leadership.

Overview

  • The milestone was reached on October 7 with a Citroën Berlingo assembled at the Balaídos plant in Vigo, Spain.
  • The factory is producing roughly 1,200 vans per day, averaging about one vehicle per minute.
  • The K9 range, in series since 2018 and sold in more than 70 countries, includes Peugeot, Citroën, Opel/Vauxhall and Fiat variants.
  • Vigo has produced 6.5 million units of this light‑van family across three generations since 1996 and over 16 million vehicles overall since 1958, including 8.2 million LCVs.
  • Production has outpaced earlier lifetime forecasts for the K9 program, and Stellantis intends to extend the series beyond 2028 to 2032, according to local reporting.
