Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles topped the retail sales charts with over 2,000 vans registered in the crucial month of September, according to figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

The strong September performance also meant the Luton-based manufacturer was number one at retail year-to-date with 9,382 commercial vehicles registered so far this year.
Vauxhall's van sales were buoyed by the offer of four years' zero per cent APR finance, four years' free servicing, a four year warranty and four years' AA cover.

"September proved to be yet another excellent month for Vauxhall van sales," said Richard Collier, Vauxhall's national commercial vehicles sales manager. "It's great news for Vauxhall that despite the uncertain economic outlook there's still strong demand for fuel efficient, high quality vans with low running costs and excellent manufacturer support."

Vauxhall is the UK's largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles with its Luton plant recently celebrating a decade of Vivaro production. Earlier this year the plant won the contract to build the next generation of Vivaro, securing local jobs for the next decade.

The latest edition to the range, the all-new Combo, is due next year.
