Hewer Facilities Management has just specified Euro 5 Berlingo vans as part of its latest fleet replacement and fleet expansion programme.

The Gloucester based company has just taken delivery of 36 high specification Berlingo HDi 90 manual L1 Enterprise vans, which are finished in the latest version of its black and red livery.

Robert Willmott, Hewer FM's contract manager, said: "We have had a long and successful operating experience with Berlingo vans, which now form the majority of our 65-strong fleet.

“As an environmentally conscious company, every fleet renewal time we carry out a comprehensive review to see whether there is a van that can beat the Berlingo.

“To date we have continued to acquire Berlingos because of their unbeatable combination of environmental, operational, financial and driver benefits. These latest Euro 5 Berlingos are nearly 10% more fuel efficient than the Euro 4 versions they replace and their CO2 emissions are 13g/km lower."

He added: "Berlingos also provide us with other cost savings and productivity benefits, as they are running on 30% biodiesel fuel. Also, the standard fit Trafficmaster Smartnav satellite navigation system and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking means we have achieved additional cost savings and lower insurance premiums."

Supplied by Citroën Business Centre, Warners Citroën of Cheltenham, Hewer FM has acquired its latest Berlingo vans on a mix of outright purchase and three-year, 60,000 mile Arval contract hire with maintenance agreements.
