Door fitting specialist Gilgen Door Systems has purchased 24 new Volkswagen vans as part of a fleet renewal programme which will eventually see VW supply the firm’s entire fleet.

Gilgen’s latest order was for 20 new Transporter vans and four Crafter panel vans. These follow on from an order last year for four Crafters and 10 Transporters. The new Transporters are T32 Startline LWB 2.0 TDI BMT models, while the Crafters are CR35 LWB 2.0 TDI BMT panel van models.

The vans have been fitted out with specialist racking and full Gilgen livery. They will be used by the firm’s service engineers to carry replacement parts and perform servicing and maintenance on customer sites.

Roger Massey, Marketing Manager at Gilgen Door Systems UK Ltd, commented:

“Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has worked closely with us to develop a package that suits our exact business needs. As a business, we were able to specify our fleet requirements with the sales team and they helped to source the racking for vehicles through their accredited converters. This meant that the vans were ready to go as soon as they were delivered.”
