Citroën has been awarded the GreenFleet LCV Manufacturer of the Year Award in recognition of the environmental credentials of its LCV range.
The largest van in Citroën’s range is the recently-updated Relay, for which fuel economy figures have improved by up to 15% – with combined cycle fuel economy in the 37.7-42.8mpg range. These are impressive figures a large panel van in the up to 3.5 tonne gvw sector. Citroën has also cut CO2 emissions with the new Relay, and has managed to get CO2 emissions under 200g/km for all models up to 3.5 tonnes.
Emissions will be helped by the specification of a six-speed gearbox on all new Relay models and by the specification of Stop & Start on many models.
Citroën is also taking a more holistic approach to cutting emissions, specifying all new Relay panel vans (and their small Berlingo and Dispatch siblings) as standard with sophisticated Teletrac satellite navigation and stolen vehicle tracking systems. The use of this advanced telematics platform significantly improves vehicle productivity and efficiency, as well as cutting unnecessary mileage, reducing driver stress levels and improving safety.
