Vans and their Leading Manufacturers

The name of this vehicle is derived from the word vanguard, dating from the days when large covered wagons could be found at the forefront of an army. Vans weighing up to around four tons are classified as light commercial vehicles in Europe and as light or medium duty trucks in North America. They are the vehicles of choice for many mobile businesses that use the capacious cargo capacity for carrying tools and equipment to and from the place of work, and are also extremely popular as delivery vehicles. The most popular vehicle of this type is the FORD Transit. This range has been produced since 1965 and over seven million have been produced, making it the best selling van in Europe over the last forty years. In fact it is so popular that the name 'transit van' has become a generic term that is used to refer to other makes, too. They are noted for being well designed and robust and are particularly sought after if you are looking to buy used vans. The MERCEDES-BENZ Sprinter offers superior power, performance and economy, as well as a wide choice of different configurations, with various body lengths, roof heights, wheelbases and weights to choose from. In the field of high capacity vans the RENAULT Master Box Van is a capacious square sided box van with a load volume of 22m3 and has a cargo space that extends over and above the cab, allowing extra room for light objects. If something a little smaller is required, then the PEUGEOT Partner, based on the company's 308 car, offers impressive fuel economy, a 1.6 diesel engine and a 2050mm maximum load length. The VAUXHALL Vivaro has excellent interior stowage and is acclaimed for being comfortable and easy to control, with low noise and vibration. This reliable vehicle is now beginning to make inroads in the used vans market.
