Operators can now acquire light commercial vehicles promising reduced running costs with all compliance, R&M and administration handled by Fraikin for fixed monthly fees.
“Our move into bi-fuel vans on full service contract hire means that we can offer even greater support to public sector and company fleets,” states Fraikin sales director Colin Melvin.
With LPG prices currently half that of diesel and petrol, bi-fuel vans are ideal for operators such as local authorities, he says.
“It’s the best of all worlds for van customers – quality servicing, low operating costs, low environmental impact, and complete peace of mind.”
Alternatech has now put its first Ford Transit Courier conversions through their paces, with emissions testing at TNO in the Netherlands, demonstrating a 12.9% reduction in CO2 versus the petrol equivalent, and 52.6% less NOx.
“We’re delighted with the test results for our conversion work – it’s proof that we’ve delivered vehicles that have a reduced impact on climate change and air quality, and with a low total cost of ownership,” comments Will Putter, commercial director at Alternatech.
“By working with Fraikin, we can ensure as many fleets as possible have access to better vehicles, better operating costs and better environmental outcomes.”
Fraikin is currently making a bi-fuel Ford Transit Courier demonstrator available to fleet customers for appraisal.
