Scott Michael, Citro\u00ebn\u2019s Head of Commercial Vehicles & Business Centre Programme, comments:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe award-winning Citro\u00ebn LCV range continues to go from strength to strength as more businesses gain experience of the proven financial and operational benefits provided by our Nemo, Berlingo, Dispatch and Relay models. Citro\u00ebn\u2019s current LCV success is due to an increase in sales to both large National Fleets and also Small and Medium Enterprise fleets. The latter is in no small part aided by our unique Business Centre network which is steadily increasing the company\u2019s sales to SME fleets, contributing over 75% of our LCV sales to this market segment.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
