Take the new Proace for a ride


Thames Valley businesses invited to trial Toyota’s new van from Jemca


Thames Valley business managers and entrepreneurs running delivery vans have a new contender when it comes to deciding on the next vehicle for the company – the Toyota Proace has arrived at Jemca Reading and Jemca Bracknell.


The sister Toyota franchises in Rose Kiln Lane, Reading and John Nike Way, Bracknell is able to provide extensive demonstrations including using the Proace in certain work conditions so proprietors and business managers can fully appreciate the new arrival.


Readers of The Business Magazine can take advantage of a 24-hour test drive (subject to availability, terms and conditions) from now until the end of September*. Simply email Gerry Prodano on gerry.prodano@jemca.toyota. co.uk with your requirements and someone from Jemca will call to discuss.


Proace has been designed to provide practicality and versatility to meet the needs of the widest range of businesses whilst equipped and engineered for car-like comfort and driving. The van can be specified as a panel van, glass van or crew cab.


Available in two lengths and heights, giving load capacities of 5m3, 6m3 or 7m3, according to the configuration chosen, Proace also carries payloads up to 1,200kg and can tow up to two tonnes.


Two sliding doors can be specified and there is a choice of a top- hinged tailgate and dual side- hinged rear doors that open to 270 degrees.


A range of Euro 5-compliant diesel engines powers the Proace:-


• 89bhp 1.6-litre engine produces 180Nm of torque and is matched to a five-speed manual transmission

Comments Jemca Business Centre manager Chris Rogers: “Toyota has always enjoyed a strong presence in the light commercial vehicles sector because of the reliability and practicality of its vans. Proace is the latest in a long line of popular workhorses. However, we think there’s no better way for businesses to truly appreciate its versatility than to use it as part of their working day. We have a limited number of 24-hour slots whereby local companies can literally put the Proace through its paces as though it were already a part of their fleet.”
