Citroen announces telematics package upgrade for LCVs

Light commercial vehicle (LCV) manufacturer Citroen has announced it is set to upgrade its telematics packages for a number of its vans.

Set to come as standard in new Berlingo, Dispatch and Relay panel vans, the vehicles will benefit from touchscreen satnav devices delivering full-colour UK and European road mapping, as well as 2D and 3D graphical displays.

According to Scott Michael, Citroen's commercial vehicle operations manager, the company range of LCVs are designed to offer optimum environmental performance and low whole-life operating costs for customers.

"In its latest form, [the] unique Trafficmaster and Trackstar telematics package materially assists in this process by helping to improve productivity, reduce driver stress levels and raise safety standards," he commented.

Last month, the Volkswagen Transporter T5 was named the Used Van of the Year 2011 by CAP.

It achieved top marks in the organisation's judging categories, which included value retained versus cost at new, model range coverage, options, perceived reliability, image and brand perception, and dealer network professionalism and support.
