COMMERCIAL VEHICLES GOOD SPORT
The versatile Transporter range from Volkswagen is now available with even more style with the new Sportline models. Offering greater variation, the new Sportline specifi cation is available on both panel van and kombi models, in both short and long wheelbase. All models are fi tted with the refi ned and effi cient 2.0 litre BiTDI 180 PS diesel engine, and are offered with a six speed manual gearbox as standard. The new models feature bold, sporty styling while retaining all of the practicality and functionality synonomous with the Transporter. At the front, a striking gloss black grille with chrome detailing is framed by revised headlights. Below this, the redesigned colour coded bumper incorporates front fog lights which sit either side of the lower grille element. Additional styling cues include polished stainless steel side bars and unique 18 inch Sportline fi ve spoke alloys, fi nished in silver or satin black, while smoked rear light units and a rear roof spoiler further differentiate the Sportline models. All Sportline models are fi tted with an extensive list of additional equipment including semi-automatic air conditioning, multimedia system including seven inch colour touchscreen with full European satellite navigation, rear parking sensors, built- in Bluetooth connectivity and electric windows.
IT’S A DEAL
Renault has announced that British Gas will be its preferred supplier of vehicle charging points for its new range of 100 per cent electric zero emission cars and vans in the UK. The deal builds on British Gas’ agreement with Renault’s Alliance partner, Nissan, to be the preferred supplier of charge points to its electric car in the UK.
The agreement with Renault, announced at the technical forum for the RAC
Future Car Challenge at Imperial College London, means that British Gas will supply and install electric vehicle charge points in homes and businesses across the country. Renault will launch the electric Kangoo van Z.E. later this year. The announcement is further indication of the growing electric vehicle market in the UK. Experts predict that by 2020, electric vehicles could account for approximately 10 per cent of all cars sold in the UK. Dean Keeling, managing director of British Gas Smart Homes, said, ‘The market for electric vehicles in Britian is growing fast. With our national network of electrical engineers, our electricity supply business, our solar panel business and our roll out of smart meters, British Gas is well placed to be at the forefront of that market.’
GREATER POWER
Citroën has launched its most powerful LCV models yet - the new Euro 5 Relay 35 HDi 180 six speed manual panel van and chassis cabs. Following on from the introduction of the Euro 5 Nemo range earlier this year, this new Relay engine is the next stage in Citroën’s programme of introducing even lower emissions and more fuel effi cient Euro 5 HDi engines across its entire LCV range. The new Euro 5 Relay 35 HDi 180 six speed manual range replaces the previous Euro 4 Relay 35 HDi 160 six speed manual models. The new 3.0HDi Euro 5 180 engine delivers a 12.5 per cent power increase, up from 160hp to 180hp. Peak torque is unchanged at 400Nm, but the new HDi 180 develops this at just 1,400rpm, 300rpm lower than the superseded HDi 160 engine, for even greater driveability. Signifi cant fuel effi ciency has also been achieved with the more powerful Euro 5 HDi 180 engine. On the combined cycle, the Euro 5 Relay 35 L3H2 HDi 180 six speed manual panel van returns 33.2mpg - a 9.2 per cent improvement over the Euro 4 Relay HDi 160 powered panel van’s 30.4mpg.
