Citroen Jumper - a unique car

Citroen Jumper is designed to carry goods weighing up to 2.2 tons. It has such a unique advantage as a front-wheel drive. In the arsenal of the firm Citroen there is also a less load-lifting model of Citroen Jumpy (maximum - 1200 kilograms). Also there is the nearest competitor - Peugeot Boxer. This car practically does not differ either in price or in technical characteristics. It is interesting to note that the purchases in Russia of Peugeot Boxer vans exceed the purchase of Citroen Jumper models several times. I wonder why so? Probably, this is the merit of those who develop the brand of Peugeot. There is also a similar Fiat model called Fiat Ducato.
