Aesthetically and functionally, the Citroen Nemo and the Peugeot Bipper are the same vehicle, save the badging on the front and back. They say that these vans will do the same work as the Chevy HHR Panel in Europe but get better fuel economy. This is because you get to choose between either a 1.4L gasoline engine or a 1.4L HDi diesel powerplant, producing a mere 75hp or 70hp, respectively. There are golf carts that'd be faster than these follows.
Don't worry about overloading this pipsqueaks, though, because they boast a 1,345 lb. payload rating and a maximum cargo area of 107 cubic feet

With all GM has worldwide, you would think they would have a diesel that would go into their smaller vehicles. Seems diesel is more a european thing though. Too bad, with biodiesel available to be made at home, it would be cheap to run and lots of torque too!

Yeah, but for the emissions requirements here in the US it isn't cost-effective to develop the small diesel for the North American market. Biodiesel is also a very small percentage of the actual market right now too.
