During Wold War 2, it was impossible to build normal cars. The shortage of everything took Peugeot to this electric city car. 377 units were built during the war, almost exclusively for doctors and post service. Its 4 batteries allowed a range of 75/80km and a cruising speed of 36km/h with two adults on board. The engine is placed between the rear wheels.

Fuel was scarce durina the Second World War in France. As a result, many experiments
were carried out with electric vehicles by manufacturers including Peugeot. The VLV, introduced in March 1941, was a micro car produced out of aluminium sheeting weighing a mere 365 kg, including the batteries, offering an action radius of 80 km. A total of 377 units were built before politics ruled that electric cars needed to be built by the electricity companies.
This 1941 Peugeot VLV is on display at Autoworld, Belgium’s national motor museum, in Brussels.

Both rear wheels share the same brake. The total length of the vehicle is 2.67 m. The electrically driven VLV (Voiture Légère de Ville – light town car) was manufactured by Peugeot during World War II because of the lack of fossil fuels, .
Peugeot built 377 of these two-seater vehicles between 1941 and 1945, many of which were used by the postal service. Its range is 80 km and it can reach a maxim
