• In-house signwriting and conversions available to all Brit-built Vivaro customers

Vauxhall, the UK’s only volume van manufacturer, is debuting the new Corsavan at the Commercial Vehicle Show at Birmingham’s NEC (14^th – 16^th April) alongside its full line-up of British-built Vivaro vans.

The Luton-based manufacturer will also announce plans to offer Vivaro customers an in-house sign writing and wrap service as well as bespoke racking and conversions.

Available now to fleets and in the summer for small businesses, Vauxhall is the only UK manufacturer to offer this service which will save customers time and money as the work is done in-house, as the vans roll off the production line. Pricing will be extremely competitive and all work will be covered by a three-year warranty.

Vauxhall will also launch Movano One-Invoice approved conversions, providing even more simplicity and transparency for customers.

Vauxhall Vans Sales

Year-to-date, Vauxhall van sales are up nearly 32 per cent with over 11,000 vehicles registered in 2015. Market share was up to 11.3 per cent.

The Luton firm is also number one at retail and Vivaro is the number one van for small businesses with over 7,000 registrations this year. Vauxhall fleet sales also grew by 40 per cent.

Rounding off a cracking start to the year, Corsavan sales doubled and Movano fleet sales increased by 80 per cent in the first quarter.  

Corsavan

With an increased payload of up to 571kg and priced from £11,175 to £13,875, new Corsavan in Sportive trim will take pride of place on the Vauxhall CV stand.

New Corsavan features an enhanced and improved chassis, with fuel economy of up to 85.6mpg and emissions as low as 87g/km CO₂. As well as an impressive flat-loading capacity of up to 920 litres, the new small van is big on safety, featuring six airbags and active safety systems as standard, as well as Tyre Pressure Monitoring and ESP plus including Hill Start Assist.

Vivaro Range

The full Vivaro range will also feature on Vauxhall’s prominent stand in Hall 4 of the NEC, including L1H1, L2H1 (long wheelbase) and L2H2 (high-roof and long-wheelbase) panel vans, as well as Double Cab, nine-seater Combi and Platform Cab variants.

The Vivaro is built at Vauxhall’s Luton plant, the UK’s most productive van plant, where approaching a million current Vivaros have been made since production began in 2001. The latest model secured 1,200 jobs in the Luton area and contains 40 per cent British-sourced components, which will mean an extra £600 million spent with British suppliers. The plant is also a major exporter with 52 per cent of vans destined for European markets.

Also on the stand will be Vauxhall’s Combo with its class-leading payload of up to 1,000kg, as well as a Trucksmith Movano ‘KneeHi’ One-Invoice conversion, demonstrating the adaptability of Vauxhall’s commercial vehicle range.

Vauxhall is also the sponsor of Home Nations football, and visitors will have the chance to meet a football legend on its CV Show stand, including Peter Shilton on Tuesday 14^th April, Bryan Robson on Wednesday 15^th April and Trevor Francis on Thursday 16^th April.
