White Vauxhall Movano

A clean white van? It must be new…

In 2012, silver vans displaced blue vans as the nation’s second favourite choice. Historically, blue vans were the second most common on British roads but their popularity has dropped from 14% of all vans in 2003 to 10 per cent in 2013.

The buying brakes have gone on red which has seen a dramatic decrease from 11% in 2003 to just 7% in 2013.

In the last 12 months, the analysis by Direct Line for Business showed that the number of registered LGVs in Britain has increased by 2% from 3.28 million to 3.35 million.

White vans have assumed their own place in modern British folklore, transporting the goods and services for businesses across the country

Jazz Gakhal, Head of Direct Line for Business said, “White vans have assumed their own place in modern British folklore, transporting the goods and services for businesses across the country. The increase in the number of LGVs purchased in the last 12 months is a healthy sign that small businesses and tradesmen are investing in their enterprises and potentially expanding.”
