For many trade, service and delivery vehicles, the longest possible van is not necessarily the best choice. What matters is finding the right balance between usable cargo space and practical vehicle dimensions. This is exactly where the Peugeot Expert L2 from 2016 onwards fits in.
The vehicle-specific aluminium chequer plate cargo floor protects the original vehicle floor and creates a robust working surface for everyday commercial use. Birch plywood as the supporting material and a durable aluminium five-bar chequer plate surface combine a stable base with a hard-wearing upper working surface.
Does this aluminium chequer plate floor fit my Peugeot Expert L2?
In short: This cargo floor is designed for the Peugeot Expert L2H1 from 2016 onwards with a wheelbase of 3,275 mm, an overall vehicle length of 4,959 mm and a cargo area length of 2,512 mm. It is available in 9 mm or 12 mm thickness. The 9 mm version can optionally be supplied with recessed Airline Rails. The floor is not suitable for passenger/combi vehicles with seat rails or double-cab versions.
Peugeot Expert L2 – a versatile choice for everyday work
Compared with the short version, the Peugeot Expert L2 provides additional cargo space without requiring the maximum vehicle length of the L3/XL model. This makes it an interesting option for businesses that regularly carry equipment and materials while still requiring a versatile commercial vehicle for everyday use.
With a cargo area length of 2,512 mm, there is space for toolboxes, machines, transport containers and professional vehicle installations. When the Expert is loaded and unloaded several times a day, the floor becomes one of the most heavily used areas of the cargo compartment.
The aluminium chequer plate floor provides a robust upper working surface and protects the vehicle floor underneath from direct contact with cargo, dirt and moisture.

More cargo space for tools, materials and vehicle installations
The additional space in the Expert L2 provides plenty of possibilities for a professional cargo area conversion. Alongside loose cargo, the vehicle can be equipped with shelving systems, tool cabinets or other commercial vehicle installations.
Typical applications include:
-
Trade vehicles carrying tools, machines and consumable materials
-
Service vehicles with spare parts and storage systems
-
Installation and maintenance vehicles used at changing work locations
-
Delivery and courier vans carrying frequently changing loads
-
Mobile workshops with permanently installed shelving or cabinets
In these applications, the cargo floor is walked on, loaded and regularly exposed to tools, boxes and other transport items. A durable working surface therefore forms an important part of a practical cargo area conversion.
Birch plywood with an aluminium five-bar chequer plate surface
The cargo floor combines birch plywood as the supporting base with an aluminium five-bar chequer plate upper surface.
The aluminium forms the upper working surface and gives the supporting board additional protection from direct contact with cargo, dirt and moisture. At the same time, it gives the cargo area a technical finish that suits a professionally used work van.
The floor contours are CNC-machined specifically for the vehicle and shaped to fit the cargo area of the Peugeot Expert L2.
When does an aluminium chequer plate floor make sense?
A conventional van floor and an aluminium chequer plate floor essentially serve the same basic purpose: they create a usable cargo floor and protect the original vehicle floor underneath. The main difference is the upper surface.

9 mm or 12 mm – which version suits the Expert L2?
The aluminium chequer plate cargo floor is available in 9 mm or 12 mm thickness. One important difference between the two versions is the option to integrate recessed Airline Rails.

If recessed Airline Rails are required as part of the cargo floor, choose the 9 mm version.
Optional Airline Rails for a flexible cargo area
The 9 mm version can optionally be supplied with recessed Airline Rails.
The rails are recessed across the direction of travel and bonded into the cargo floor. Together with suitable Airline Rail accessories such as fittings or lashing straps, they provide additional attachment points for different transport tasks.
This can be particularly useful in a versatile Expert L2: tools and materials in the morning, transport containers or different cargo later in the day. The available attachment points can be used according to the current load-securing requirements.
Important:
The option with recessed Airline Rails is available exclusively with the 9 mm version of the cargo floor.
Installing the cargo floor in the Peugeot Expert L2
The individual floor sections are positioned precisely inside the vehicle and screwed together. This creates a continuous floor surface shaped to the contours of the cargo area.
The supplied recessed lashing-point cups are fitted into the prepared cut-outs and secured using the vehicle's original lashing points.
Before final installation, it is advisable to position all floor sections inside the cargo area first and check their alignment.

This cargo floor is not suitable for passenger/combi vehicles with seat rails or double-cab versions. It is designed exclusively for the corresponding panel van.
Practical tip: Plan the floor and vehicle installation together
The additional space in the Expert L2 makes it attractive for shelving, cabinets and other permanently installed equipment. Before fitting these components, the position of the cargo floor and any optional Airline Rails should already be considered.
This not only makes installation easier but also helps keep useful attachment points accessible later. Installing the complete workshop interior first and thinking about the floor afterwards can quickly turn a straightforward job into a rather complicated game of cargo-area Tetris.
