Commercial Diesels Buyers Guide...

Diesel Small Car Derived Vans (CDV’s) come with the added benefit of side loading doors on vehicles such as the Peugeot Partner, Citroen Berlingo, Vauxhall Combo and Fiat Doblo.

You can now buy intermediate size diesel vans between the CDV and panel vans i.e the Peugeot Expert, Citroen Dispatch, Fiat Scudo and Ford Connect. These are very popular with tradesmen – electricians and plumbers. Later diesel vans have higher bhp engines and the added benefit of 6 speed gearboxes, giving excellent fuel consumption figures.

Diesel panel vans are available with a variety of bodies from low roof short wheel base (SWB) to Hi-roof long wheel base (LWB). These vans can be 2.5 metres high or more and up to 4.2 metres long, giving a huge amount of load space and very popular with the parcel delivery services, construction industry and the Post Office.

On diesel pickups and diesel tippers, you can choose between aluminium or metal bodies. The lighter the body, the greater the carrying capacity of your truck. There are a wide variety of different bodies available for each chassis base such as Dropside Pick ups, tipping bodies – both one-way and three-way, These come in both single and crew cab carrying up to 31/2 tonnes.

Van conversions are being used by many companies to convert their body for specialist users and for disabled drivers via organisations such as Motability. You can have any combination of seats and access ramps for lifts, fitted with electronic seat adjustments, auto gearboxes and hand controls.

Another category of diesel commercial vehicle is that of passenger carrying. Minibuses start at 8 seats and include 9, 12, 15 and 17 seat variants
