Citroën Berlingo wins Fleet Van ‘Small Van of the Year’ award

There was gleeful news in Citroën Commercial Vehicles latest press release this week. The popular Citroën Berlingo van pulled off a hat trick, as the small van of choice for many hard working individuals and fleets was crowned with its third Fleet Van ‘Small Van of the Year’ award at a ceremony in London.

Scott Michael, Citroën’s Head of Commercial Vehicles & Business Centre Programme, said: “We are delighted that the Berlingo has won the Fleet Van Small Van of the Year award. This prestigious accolade recognises the many strengths and benefits of the versatile and cost effective Berlingo range. Not only is the Berlingo Citroën’s best-selling LCV, but it has also been the UK’s best-selling van in its sector for the first three quarters of this year.”

The Fleet Van awards judges commented that the Berlingo was in, “A highly competitive shortlist, but new eco models, an electric vehicle derivative and Trafficmaster as standard swing it in the Berlingo’s favour. It also has low cost of ownership, good driver appeal, strong network support and a decent payload. It’s a very likeable van.”

For those looking for an economical yet capable van with all of those glowing attributes described by the judges, the Berlingo may just be the right van for you. The models in the Berlingo range include: two load lengths, a Crew Van, enhanced traction versions, choice of payloads and trims levels, as well as a platform cab for specialist conversions. All Berlingo panel vans have a Trafficmaster telematics platform (including Smartnav intelligent satellite navigation and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking), which also provides access, at low cost, to Fleet Director real time fleet management. And to tempt you even further, the latest Berlingo now benefits from the availability of a new ETG6 automated manual gearbox option (6-speed Efficient Tronic Gearbox).
