CITROËN’S
NEMO & BERLINGO MAKE IT A 1-2 VICTORY AT INTERNATIONAL
VAN OF THE YEAR
Citroën’s
compact hi-cube van, the Nemo, has just been awarded
the prestigious title of ‘International Van of the
Year ’ - with the brand new Berlingo van taking
second place. The champion Citroën LCVs received
their prestigious accolades at a ceremony during
the IAA Truck Show in Hanover.
This is the second year running that Citroën has
received the award – with the Dispatch picking up
the title.
|
Citroën
is also the first manufacturer in the awards’
16-year history to gain both first and second
places in the same year - and only the second
manufacturer to pick up successive International
Van of the Year awards.
Nemo’s big (2.5-2.8m3) load volume and small
carbon footprint (as low as 116g/km of CO2)
make it one of the most practical and environmentally
responsible vans on the market today. Couple
that with its compact size, agile handling,
tight turning circle and low prices from just
£7995+VAT and Citroën’s Nemo presents the perfect
commercial companion for the urban environment.

Robert
Handyside, Citroën’s Commercial Vehicle Operations Manager,
commented, “This award really highlights the Nemo’s
unique operational, economic and environmental benefits.
As the instigator of the compact high cube van sector,
the Nemo is the ideal van for a wide range of businesses,
which accounts for its significant early success across
a growing customer base.” |

Legal Tyre Check
For your own peace of mind, checkthatcar.com gives you the correct
tyre pressures for each make of vehicle. There are also useful
tips about tyre maintenance to prolong the life of yours. Tyres
are some of the most important parts of your vehicle and play
a big part in safe driving. Legal tread requirements are in place
for your protection, as once the tread becomes worn; your road
holding is compromised. Tyre pressure is an often neglected part
of car maintenance. Too much pressure actually reduces the amount
of tyre contact with the road surface, leading to steering, braking
and acceleration problems. Not enough pressure can increase fuel
consumption and lead to blow outs and reduce the life of the tyres.
Tyres are expensive, but the fine for getting caught with a faulty
one is £2500 per tyre. Tyre offences are taken very seriously;
as they not only put the offender’s life at risk, but also the
lives of all other motorists on the roads where they drive. More
