\"SimonAccording to Simon Taylor, boss of the eponymous Ayrshire\u00a0commercial building, refurbishment and maintenance contractor, Simon Taylor Group,\u00a0his\u00a0vans tend to\u00a0be\u00a0used fully loaded and for\u00a0long journeys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After five years of solid use,\u00a0Mr Taylor’s firm has just stood down its last batch of Mercedes-Benz vans and replaced them with a new\u00a0fleet of five\u00a0new Merc vans, including the company’s first two Citans, on in van spec and one\u00a0Dualiner model.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0company’s\u00a0Sprinters are the main workhorses, and have been specified to suit —\u00a0Mr Taylor opted for one 3.5-tonne Sprinter 319CDI panel van and a 316 CDI chassis cab with Inigmex dropside body — while the fifth van is a 116CDI Vito.<\/p>\n

All of the vans will be used across the UK, on a variety of commercial refurbishment and\u00a0building maintenance contracts.<\/p>\n

Commenting on\u00a0his choice of vans, Mr Taylor said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are tough vans and experience has proved they can be trusted to stand up to hard work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have been a guest of the dealer at the Mercedes-Benz VanExperience LIVE event twice, and seen for myself the standard safety systems fitted to these vehicles, in action alongside models from the competition. Those demonstrations have left me in no doubt that Mercedes-Benz vans are the safest on the road.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mercedes vans\u00a0seem<\/a> to<\/a> inspire<\/a> a<\/a> loyalty<\/a> in<\/a>\u00a0operators that few other marques can attain — there’s little doubt why. Unlike some brands, Merc’s\u00a0image of quality and technical superiority isn’t just down to marketing success; it’s a reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
