“The Best Large Trades Vans category was inseparable between the Citroen Dispatch and the Peugeot Expert Van. Both vans are the latest from the PSA Group and offer smart styling, really good running costs and a dealer network that has plenty of offers for the SME sector. So the independent judges have awarded a joint victory in this highly competitive category.”
