| 4x4x4x4 Vauxhall Commercial Vehicle Offer |
February 2010 |
The Pentagon Vauxhall Business Centres are now offering customers a highly competitive new offer aimed at significantly reducing the cost of buying and running a Vauxhall van over the first four years of its life.
Called the 4x4x4x4 deal it offers 4 years 0% finance, 4 years free servicing, 4 years breakdown assistance, and 4 years warranty on selected new 10 registration Vauxhall vans. Buyers don't have to take the finance offer to take advantage of the other deals, so, for example, they can pay cash and still get the other offers. The 4x4x4x4 deal is available up until for a limited time through your local Pentagon Vauxhall Business Centre. |
| Vauxhall Vivaro Is Economy Champ! |
November 2009 |
Running costs are critical to both van fleet managers and private customers alike, and Vauxhall’s Vivaro has proven itself as the out-and-out champ in terms of fuel economy by winning the commercial vehicle category of the 2009 Fleetworld/ALD MPG marathon.
The British-built van achieved an overall figure of 55.25mpg on the 360-mile drive, which took in challenging roads across the East and West Midlands over two days. This represents an improvement of 60.6 per cent over the van’s official combined economy figure of 34.4mpg, and proves that a smooth and careful approach to driving can pay huge dividends to drivers, and to fleets looking to cut their costs.
Driven by seasoned economy driver Andrew Duerden and co-driver Jim Smith, the winning van was a 2.0 CDTi 115PS SWB variant, the most popular of the Luton-built models.
“I knew that by keeping the van within its peak torque curve and by reading the road ahead we stood a good chance,” said Andrew. “But to achieve a 60 per cent improvement really shows that van drivers can achieve superb results by applying a responsible approach to their driving.”
The winning van was fitted with data-logging equipment supplied by Millbrook Proving Ground, which offers economy driver-training sessions to businesses and fleet operators alike.
It has won its category in the MPG Marathon before, but the figure of 55mpg is the best ever achieved by a Vivaro on the event, comprehensively beating rivals including a Ford Transit and Mercedes Vito. |
| Combo MAXX Option Now Available |
September 2009 |
Now buyers can add the Maxx factor to Vauxhall’s ever-popular Combo, thanks to a new range of option packs available to order.
Those wanting to give their van a more personal touch can choose from Exterior or Function Maxx packs, both of which make the Combo an even more desirable companion with which to do a day’s work.
The exterior Maxx pack costs £350 (ex VAT) and adds distinctive 15-inch alloy wheels, plus body-coloured front bumper and rear quarter bumpers, and colour-coded door mirrors, all of which combine to give the Combo an upmarket, sporting feel.
And you can take things to the Maxx inside as well, thanks to the Maxx Function Pack, which offers £925 worth of extras for just £600 (all prices ex VAT). The pack offers a touch of class to the Combo’s cabin, with air conditioning, electric front windows with one-touch operation, smart sports seats and body-coloured electrically-adjustable heated door mirrors.
Maxx packs are available to order now on all new Combos with the exception of the entry-level Expression model. |
| Two new Recognised Conversions join Vauxhall line-up |
September 2009 |
As far as conversions go, they don’t come much larger than Vauxhall’s latest additions to the seriously big Movano line-up...
Very much the prop forwards of the Movano model range in terms of their dimensions, the new Grounds Maintenance Vehicle and Car Transporter bodies add further versatility to the already multifunctional line-up of Core and Recognised conversions.
Both bodies are converted by Roadload of Norfolk, and are based on Movano chassis cabs – the LWB variant for the Car Transporter and the MWB variant for the Grounds Maintenance Vehicle.
The Car Transporter comes with a lightweight beavertail body made from aerospace-grade alloy and features LED side marker and rear lights, thermoplastic rear mud wings, loading ramps with lockable underbody stowage facility, semi air-suspension with adjustable ride height, eight lashing eyes and a lockable tool locker. Full air suspension, a power winch and roof-mounted lightbox are extra cost options.
The body is available on any Movano LWB chassis cab, all of which feature a Euro IV complaint 2.5-litre CDTi engine, with a choice of 100, 120 or 146PS power outputs and a standard six-speed manual gearbox. The maximum payload is dependent on engine choice, but is up to 1583kg.
Adding even further diversity to Vauxhall’s Recognised Conversion line-up, the Movano Grounds Maintenance Vehicle is designed to suit the requirements of groundsmen and park-keepers among other professions. As well as a beavertail loading ramp designed to take small tractors or plant, standard features include full air-lowering suspension with set ride height, eight underbody rope hooks, six load-floor lashing eyes, thermoplastic rear mud wings and LED side marker and rear lights.
Options include an H-frame light box, a lockable plastic belly locker, a range of lockable storage box options, a set of winter dropsides, an eight-litre hot/cold powered handwash plus a 10-litre door-mounted petrol can and 40-litre on-board diesel refuelling tank.
Both body styles come with the same level of standard kit as all Movanos, meaning they get a driver’s airbag, dual passenger bench seat, electronic engine deadlock and immobiliser, stereo CD/radio, remote central locking and optional air conditioning, passenger airbag, remote control security system and satellite navigation.
In each case, the base vehicle, excluding the converted components, is also covered by Vauxhall’s comprehensive three-year/100,000-mile warranty, 12 month’s Vauxhall Assistance roadside rescue package and six-year anti-perforation warranty. |
