Founded in 1810 by the Peugeot family, the French company boasts an exceptional two-hundred-year history .

The Peugeot Expert quickly transcended its status as a simple utility vehicle to become deeply rooted in the French cultural landscape . By the 2000s, its distinctive silhouette had become a familiar sight on our roads, embodying the entrepreneurial spirit and ingenuity of French craftsmen.
A delightful anecdote perfectly illustrates this popularity: during the filming of the movie "Taxi 3" in 2003, several Experts were used as technical support vehicles by the production team. Their versatility and reliability appealed to the technicians so much that some decided to acquire them for their own professional activities!
Even more surprising, the Expert quickly became the vehicle of choice for food trucks ahead of their time . From the end of the 1990s, many culinary entrepreneurs chose this model to create their first mobile kitchens, thus participating in the emergence of a gastronomic phenomenon that would conquer the whole of Europe.
