Citroen has won a contract to supply automotive parts distribution firm FPS with 163 Citroën Berlingo 1.6HDi 90 625 LX vans.
When delivery is complete, Citroën Berlingos will form the bulk of the 260-strong FPS van fleet.
Supplied by Citroën dealers, Lookers of Cardiff and Preston, the FPS Berlingos are being operated on Burnt Tree two-year, 100,000 mile contract hire agreements.
Stuart Collett, FPS’ fleet manager, said: “We specified Citroën Berlingo vans to meet a wide range of demanding operational, environmental and financial requirements.
“In LX format, with the standard, fold-flat Extenso passenger seat, these vans can carry exhausts safely and securely inside. The standard Trafficmaster Smartnav satellite navigation system provides safety and productivity benefits, while the Berlingo’s proven fuel efficiency and low whole life costs meet stringent FPS business requirements.”
The Berlingos are used on FPS’s regional, scheduled, same-day delivery operations, providing its customer base of 2500 motor factor customers with up to six deliveries per day of automotive parts.
