Eco-van insurance customers may be inspired by Citroen award

Van insurance seekers looking to improve their carbon footprint might be keen to note that Citroen has been named Green Van Manufacturer of the Year at the Fleet Van Awards 2010 ceremony held in London yesterday (October 6th).

And one of its vehicles - the Citroën Nemo - was given a Highly Commended in the City Van of the Year category, while the Citroen Berlingo received the same accolade in the Small Van of the Year class.

Robert Handyside, Citroen's commercial vehicle operations manager, said the overall prize "recognises Citroen's continuing commitment to producing affordable, efficient, clean and green LCVs".

This news comes after the manufacturer announced last month that it has improved fuel economy and reduced the emissions on the Berlingo.

The panel vans, powered by Euro 4 1.6HDi 75hp and 90hp diesel engines, now have a better fuel consumption of 1.7 per cent and CO2 output has decreased by 6 g/km.
