Business Vans Verdict
The $64,000 question must be: Is it worth opting for the ecoFLEX model over the standard rival?
On paper, the answer is yes. The greener versions costs £290 more but over the course of an 80,000-mile life, according to the official figures, it will use 116 gallons less fuel, thus making a saving of £431 with fuel at £6.22 a gallon.
The problem, as stated above, is that you are never likely to achieve the official mpg figure and every mile per gallon less you do achieve will eat into that savings figure.
Nevertheless, if your delivery schedule include city stops, that’s when the van comes into element. Movano or Movano ecoFLEX? Make your choice depending on your delivery routes.
