Morelli Group takes a shine to new Citroen Dispatch vans28 January 2015

Automotive paint distributor Morelli Group has taken delivery of 15 Citroen Dispatch vans, partly as fleet expansion and partly vehicle replacements.

The Enfield-based business is a longstanding Citroen operator and is deploying the new vehicles across its UK depot network.

The Dispatch L2H1 HDi 125 six-speed manual Enterprise vans were supplied on ALD Automotive three-year/135,000-mile contract hire deals.

The vans have a payload of 1,200kg and are powered by an HDi 125 engine, with a combined cycle fuel economy of 44.1 mpg and CO2 emissions of 168g/km.

Standard specification includes air conditioning, rear parking sensors, a Connecting Box (including Bluetooth and a USB socket), electrically folding heated door mirrors and a full steel bulkhead.

The Dispatch also comes with Teletrac satellite navigation and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking.

"We like the way Citroën offers its vans with defined trim levels, rather than a large number of options, which makes ordering vehicles easier," says Robert Cohen, Morelli's financial director.

"Citroën's LCVs are ideal for our intensive, high-mileage operation, providing excellent driver comfort and safety, along with reliability and low cost of operation."

Morelli Group has also ordered five DS 5 Hybrid4 cars for its senior management.
