Hitachi Capital Commercial Vehicle Solutions has added new van models, racking systems and tools, and new vehicle signage to its Trade Ready Solutions package.

Trade Ready Solutions allows van fleets and tradespeople to deal with a single supplier for all their vehicle, tools, racking and signage needs. All funding, maintenance and repair costs of the van and its Trade Ready equipment are covered by one monthly payment.

For 2015, two new van models are available for immediate customisation: the Ford Transit Connect and Transit Custom. Almost all other makes and models are also available to order through the offer.

Included is a choice of four Hitachi Power Tool packages which are covered by a three year warranty and a free tool refresh after three years. Each pack comes with multiple cross-compatible batteries, with all batteries and tools stored in stackable tool boxes.

To secure and store these tools, Bri-Stor Systems offers and supplies five exclusive racking packages designed for trade professionals such as carpenters, plumbers, electricians and builders. Packages include angled, multi-shelf and shelf-and-box storage solutions, all of which are designed, produced, installed, tested and warranted by Bri-Stor in the UK. Bri-Stor also ply line the vehicle with phenolic 9mm non-slip flooring, for industry leading quality, durability and safety.

As the exclusive racking systems are ready designed and in production, the lead time for trade professionals receiving their fully equipped vehicle is significantly reduced. Even with customisation, waiting times are reduced from months to just days.

The Trade Ready Solutions offer also now includes vehicle signage and graphics. With fresh, bright graphics professionally applied during the racking installation process, vehicles become mobile adverts for businesses.

Trade professionals can opt for a range of optional extras including a tow bar, additional racking systems, light beacons, fire extinguishers and specialist tools.

Jon Lawes, managing director at Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions, said: “Partnering with our sister company Hitachi Power Tools and Bri-Stor Systems brings a truly unique offer to the marketplace. The new additions to the Trade Ready Solutions package means trade professionals need only worry about one thing; the job in hand.”
