Like the Multivan and the ID. Buzz, the new Transporter will be launched with a digital cockpit landscape as standard. The load compartment also offers major advantages over the Transporter 6.1, which is now being replaced. The new basic normal-wheelbase version's load compartment is 61 mm longer, while the width between the wheel arches has even been increased by as much as 148 mm.
It's aimed at operators who work relatively small local areas and who can charge at a central base. With a range of 180 or so miles it’s a very appealing prospect for last mile deliveries as well as commercial vehicle customers looking to future-proof their business operations and transition to zero emission motoring.
Plans to change the taxing of pick-up trucks announced just a week ago by the Government, which would have seen double-cab models taxed as cars rather than commercial vehicles, have been scrapped.
There's a lot of movement in the LCV market as fleet operators look to transition to electric and finding the right van for your business is key - is it big enough? Is it powerful enough? Is the range good enough? This is where the eDaily scores highly. It can be configured with one-to-three modules, which each have a capacity of 37kWh. Batteries can also be added or removed in-life if operational needs change.
The new Vauxhall Movano, with its diverse range of body styles, up to 17m3 of cargo volume and a payload of up to two tonnes, is the largest LCV from the British brand has always been impressive. It retains class-leading qualities and adds new ones on top, such as advanced driver assistance systems that enable level 2 automated driving for the first time.
Thanks to the work done on improving efficiency, the zero-emission range of the new ë-Berlingo Van can now cover up to 205 mile (WLTP Mixt cycle, currently under certification) – 20% further than the previous model. This distance can be optimised thanks to the new regenerative braking system, which can be activated based on three different regeneration levels using steering-wheel-mounted paddles.
With more than 2 million vehicles sold, the Duster has been the number one car for retail sales in its class in Europe’s SUV market since 2019. The Duster now features a fresh and contemporary design and hours spent in the wind tunnel have allowed for a reduction in drag and therefore CO2 as well as delivering lower fuel consumption.
A range of actions have been undertaken by those impacted, with almost three-quarters (74%) extending the life cycle of current vehicles, more than half (51%) speeding up the implementation of EVs on their fleet, a quarter (25%) acquiring used vehicles rather than new, 21% adding a wider range manufacturers to choice lists and 11% turning to other forms of mobility.
There are lots of types of van on the market, ranging from car-derived vans like the Ford Fiesta to expansive six-seater crew models like the Mercedes Viano. There are also stripped-down chassis vans for those who need to build a van to their own requirements. Let’s break down the different types of van to see which one best fits your [...]
SsangYong pushes the value aspect of its range and you'll struggle to find a more comprehensively equipped model. When it comes to rival pick-ups, we're not entirely convinced that the badge counts for too much as long as the vehicle can do the job at the right price.
Toyota’s fourth generation hybrid system gives a generous all-electric driving capability that’s ideal for urban deliveries, while the hybrid system ensures there’s always the freedom to make longer trips whenever required, with no need to schedule down-time for recharging. Powertrain and chassis are unchanged from those used by the Corolla Touring Sports passenger car, so it retains the smooth, refined and efficient performance of the 1.8-litre self-charging hybrid electric system
Development of the new steering column arose from industry demand for lightweight vehicles. Manufacturers are looking at ways of reducing the weight of delivery vehicles, particularly electric vans designed for last-mile delivery. As many of these vehicles are now designed using aluminium or even composites, the proportion of overall vehicle weight consumed by other components such as steering and suspension has increased
Recent research from Arval Mobility Observatory showed that 47% of UK fleets planned to adopt electric vans within the next three years. Key reasons behind this decision were the lower environmental impact of electric vehicles (55%), tax incentives (51%), total cost of ownership being in line or lower than petrol or diesel vehicles (50%), reduced fuel expenses (50%), improving company image (40%) and being able to drive in low emissions zones (38%)
Our 110 review model certainly dealt with the muddy, hilly farmlands of Dorset and was of much interest to the farming community - but did it stack up against the trusty old Landy workhorses that inhabit this corner of the world? Size was the main comment, the Defender 110 is a mighty beast, dwarfing the old models, but what about practicality?
While Ford is keen to sell the Ranger Raptor as some kind of ultimate off-road machine, the engine choice is slightly odd, but then Europe is a very difference market to North America.
