Mercedes-Benz Citan is the natural choice13 November 2013

Warrington-based environmental business Nurturing Nature has taken delivery of a Mercedes-Benz Citan – not in green, but a BlueEFFICENCY model.

Owned by award-winning activist George Pilkington, Nurturing Nature needed a van to tick the 'green' boxes. Powered by a 75bhp, 1.4-litre diesel engine, the long-bodied Citan 108 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY can achieve 65.7 mpg and CO2 emissions of 112 g/km. The vehicle was supplied by dealer Enza.

The vehicle's fuel-efficiency and performance features clinched the deal. These include the Eco start-stop function, low rolling resistance tyres, and optimised settings for both battery and alternator management systems.

Pilkington says: "I did my homework to find the most eco-friendly vehicle I could. The Citan is extremely fuel-efficient and fits my lifestyle perfectly – I especially like the start-stop system, as it's a constant reminder that the vehicle is doing its bit to reduce its carbon footprint.

"The BlueEFFICIENCY Citan helps immediately to portray the right environmental image wherever I visit, and is also a smart-looking and comfortable vehicle with a very useful load space."
