Less vans on the road?

Look like Citroen have scooped yet more prestigious awards, this time they received four awards from What Van? For their Nemo, Dispatch, Ready to Run and Relay Minus models. Of these awards were the Van of the Year, Light Van of the Year and the Small Panel Van of the Year. As we all know, these types of awards are nothing new to Citroen as they have been ever prominent throughout award ceremonies for many years due to the nature and manufacturing prowess of their used vans; more specifically their LCV range. Most certainly it is looking like the commercial vehicles of Citroen are certainly a force to be reckoned with and ones that deploy the relevant resource to be seen as the commercial vehicle of today. Of course the economy is a massive factor nowadays, which these van manufacturers must take into consideration when producing such engines like those in the LCV range. So, it comes as no surprise that Citroen are among the leaders in this Eco-Friendly market and with awards like these becoming a regular occurrence, other manufacturers need to take not and up their game in order to keep up with the current market leader. With economy in mind comes a better rate of fuel consumption; another factor for the judges when deciding just who is the best van manufacturer for the year. Therefore, it seems that Citroen were among the leaders in this area also. Another factor, which is vital for many van users, is the amount of space available to them for storage and transportation. This, in my opinion is one of the more important elements to the judging panel as ‘smart’ storage is a major plus point for buyers.
