Citroën Berlingo has been voted Fleet Van Small Van of the Year
The Citroën Berlingo was crowned Fleet Van ‘Small Van of the Year’ today, at an awards ceremony in London, making it the third time the popular van has laid claim to this prestigious award for the third time.
Recently updated for 2014, the Berlingo is Citroën’s best-selling LCV, and was the UK’s best-selling van in its sector during the first three quarters of this year, according to Scott Michael, Citroën’s Head of Commercial Vehicles & Business Centre Programme.
The Fleet Van awards judges commented that the Berlingo was in:
“A highly competitive shortlist, but new eco models, an electric vehicle derivative and Trafficmaster as standard swing it in the Berlingo’s favour. It also has low cost of ownership, good driver appeal, strong network support and a decent payload. It’s a very likeable van.”
The Berlingo range includes a wide range of models: two load lengths, a Crew Van, enhanced traction versions, choice of payloads and trims levels, as well as a platform cab for specialist conversions. All Berlingo panel vans have a Trafficmaster telematics platform (including Smartnav intelligent satellite navigation and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking), which also provides access, at low cost, to Fleet Director real time fleet management.
Already one of the most economical and lowest emissions LCVs in its sector, the Berlingo has just gained further fuel economy improvements and CO2 emissions reductions and now boasts fuel consumption of up to 62.8mpg and CO 2 emissions of as little as 118g/km.
In addition, the latest Berlingo now benefits from the availability of a new ETG6 automated six-speed manual gearbox option.
