One of Wincor Nixdorf's 50 new Citroën Dispatch vans
Fleet renewals don’t have to take months and months from conception to delivery, as Wincor Nixdorf and Citroën have just shown.
Fast work was required by Citroën when Wincor Nixdorf UK Ltd – a specialist provider of IT services and support to the banking, retail and business sectors – wanted 50 vans in a hurry to meet the start date of a new contract.
From initial assessment by Wincor Nixdorf to delivery of its 50 Citroën Dispatch HDi 90 manual L1H1 1000 Enterprise vans took just two months.
Jill Woolnough, Wincor Nixdorf’s Fleet Manager, commented:
“To meet the financial, operational and environmental requirements of a new contract, we urgently needed to replace our existing, larger panel vans. The Dispatch was assessed against other vehicles and showed that it was able to meet our requirements, thanks to its mid-size, three-way load accessibility, low running costs and high levels of standard equipment.”
Acquired on three year, with maintenance, Pendragon contract hire agreements, Wincor Nixdorf’s service engineers will cover up to 105,000 miles in their Dispatch vans. The Dispatch vans are the latest face-lifted models, with revisions to further improve fuel economy and cutCO2emissions. They all benefit from the addition of aerodynamic panels underneath the body and a ‘volt control’ function to optimise battery charge management by the alternator, which results in a combined cycle fuel economy of 42.2mpg and CO2emissions of just 177g/km.
Supplied in unliveried Arctic Steel metallic paint, the Wincor Nixdorf Dispatch vans offer their drivers a very high level of standard equipment, including air conditioning, Bluetooth®, rear parking sensors, remote central locking, electric windows and electric mirrors. This is all in addition to Citroën’s standard specification Trafficmaster Smartnav package, complete with Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking.
