A council in Scotland has extended its van fleet with the addition of 30 Vauxhall Crafter models.
As part of its vehicle replacement programme, Fife Council has brought in the extra vans after enjoying success with the motors in the past.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles said it is delighted to supply the local authority with the vans, which it claims are notable for their loadspace, towing ability and passenger capacity.
These models will be used by the council's Parks and Countryside department, making up part of the department's ground maintenance fleet.
The biggest model in the manufacturer's van range, the Crafter boasts load volumes from 7.5 metres cubed to 17 metres cubed, with its payloads ranging from 1,544 kg to 2,693 kg – meaning the model could be ideal for those looking at the latest Volkswagen deals in order to help with their work needs.
BlueMotion and BlueMotion Technology engines are to be found in the vans, which help to deliver combined fuel consumption of up to 39.8 miles per gallon, in addition to a potential range of more than 650 miles.
Andrew Salmond, fleet officer at Fife Council, said: "The capacity and reliability of the vehicles was instrumental in the procurement process. We have a number of vehicles in use across the region and have always been pleased with the performance of the Crafter."
Alastair Hemmings, national fleet manager at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said the company is happy to be once again working with Fife Council as it looks to meet its procurement criteria, adding the manufacturer is pleased to hear that the local authority is satisfied with its order.
There are a number of different models making up the Crafter range, including panel and window vans, tipper and dropside bodies and single or double chassis cabs.
The completion of the Fife Council order comes after Volkswagen recently made known its aim to become the most sustainable car manufacturer in the world over the next five years.
