The contract includes a mixture of Volkswagen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/archives\/5987\">Transporter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/archives\/5891\">Crafter<\/a> models.<\/p>\n<p>The new vehicles will be used to transport yacht parts and personnel, and will replace Sunseeker\u2019s existing commercial vehicle fleet. The first vehicles were delivered in July.<\/p>\n<p>All eight vehicles have been supplied on a five-year service and maintenance contract hire agreement with Volkswagen Group Leasing, with support from Sunseeker\u2019s local Volkswagen Van Centre, Breeze, located in Poole.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Garside, transport manager at Sunseeker, commented:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is renowned for its efficiency and reliability so the decision on which vehicles to choose was easy. However, selecting a partner to supply and maintain the vehicles while sticking to a budget was harder.\u00a0 From the start I was aware of the benefits of going with a local Van Centre but the fact they provided a very competitive finance package with aftersales care sealed the deal.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volkswagen has anchored a deal with yacht manufacturer Sunseeker International to supply the firm with a new fleet of vans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9],"tags":[403,1016,493],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6541"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6541"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6541\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6543,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6541\/revisions\/6543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
