LCV Manufacturer of the Year

This award recognises the efforts made by manufacturers to reduce CO2 and incease fuel economy in the Light Commercial Vehicle Sector.

Winner: Citroën
Citroën’s commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its LCVs continues. This is recognised by the new Department for Transport/SMMT Van CO2 database, which shows Citroen LCVs as having impressive range-wide fuel economy figures and low CO2 emissions.

Nemo, at 84.06mpg, is the UK’s most fuel efficient van, and leads the field for vans carrying over 600kg with a CO2 figure of just 116g/km. New Berlingo, with CO2 emissions from153g/km, is significantly better than most other vans in its class. Emissions on the Dispatch start from 191g/km and the Relay also sets the pace with CO2 emissions from 208g/km – ahead of the market leaders in the large van sector.

In 2009 Citroën expanded its range of Dual Fuel (petrol/LPG) vans, adding the Dual Fuel Dispatch to Nemo, Berlingo First and Berlingo models, which feature state-of-the-art Nicholson McLaren technology. All current diesel-engined Citroën LCVs can also run on up to 30% biodiesel without modification.

Citroën has also introduced cost effective, enhanced traction vans as a more fuel-efficient alternative to 4x4 vehicles. Berlingo XTR+/Dispatch XTR+ vans meet most off-highway requirements of operators in utilities, forestry, construction and agricultural sectors, and feature a sophisticated limited-slip differential, raised suspension and comprehensive under-body protection.

Citroën remains the only manufacturer to fit almost every model in its LCV range with Trafficmaster’s Smartnav satellite navigation and Dynamic Traffic Management as standard, with a comprehensive fleet management package available as an option. With the Nemo van available from just £4,995 +VAT under the LCV Scrappage Scheme, Citroën is making the replacement of older, less fuel efficient LCVs a more affordable proposition.
