Vauxhall extends van swappage scheme

Vehicle manufacturer Vauxhall has announced an extension to its London van swappage scheme to help owners trade in their vans for more eco-friendly models.

The move has been timed to coincide with changes to the London Low Emission Zone guidelines, with vehicles that are ten years or older having higher tariffs in the future.

As a result, the company is offering trade-in deals for van owners until the end of March 2012, with savings of up to £7,500 on the price of new vehicles being offered.

"Vauxhall's outstanding commercial vehicle model range offers owner/operator and large fleet operations alike the durability, backup and low whole-life costs they need," said Richard Collier, Vauxhall's national commercial vehicles sales manager.

Meanwhile, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter was recently named the best Large Panel Van of the Year 2011 at this year's Fleet Van Awards - the fourth year in a row that the vehicle has taken this prestigious title.
