The new Vauxhall Vivaro ecoFLEX, in a suitably green setting!<\/p><\/div>\n

Eco-versions of popular vans are increasingly common – there’s the Transit ECOnetic and the Volkswagen Crafter BlueMotion, for example.<\/p>\n

Vauxhall has now joined the party with the Vivaro ecoFLEX, which joins the other, smaller ecoFLEX van models already in its range. There’s also an ecoFLEX version of the Vivaro Combi (9-seater minibus), for the first time.<\/p>\n
