2013 is set to be a big year for new vans released to the UK market. Van fans are in for a treat as there’ll be lot of choice of dynamic new vans this year including fully electric models, a refresh to the smallest vans around and a sexy makeover for the ultimate commercial vehicle, the Transit. It’s going to be an exciting year ahead, here’s why: A new, slicker Ford Transit Custom changes the face of Transits. Technically these went on sale in 2012 but as they’ve as already been voted International Van of the Year 2013 I’m including them here. A common sight on British roads as the white as of choice for handymen across the country they’ll know look a little different. The curvy nose and streamlined body elevate this hard working van to film star status. Contributing factors to the new van’s win were its improved efficiency and the continued high volume loadspace and load bearing capacity. Mercedes Benz Citan based on Renault’s Kangoo, an extremely popular small size commercial vehicle for many years. These new vans will serve the country’s delivery men well. It’s available in 3 different lengths and all models include an Adaptive Electronic Stability Program as standard. This means that the new vans are capable of analysing the distribution of the load and adjusting its stability automatically. When you think of Ford Fiestas you think small, run around car. Maybe it was your first car. You certainly don’t think ‘van’ but that’s about to change as Fiesta refresh the van versions of their small car. The new vans are lighter and more fuel efficient. These won’t differ much in size from the regular domestic passenger vehicles you currently see on the road but are great vans for anyone looking for a small transport vehicle. You’ll get loadspace volume of 1 cubic metre, enough to zip around with your tools in the back. Other new vans include the Citroen Berlingo Electrique, a battery powered model of medium size van and a refresh of the Kangoo referenced above but more on that next time.
