Refix electricians switch to Mercedes-Benz Vito 11 July 2013

Property maintenance and electrical services specialist Refix has bought its first Mercedes-Benz vans in the form of five extra-long Vitos, racked out for use by electrical engineers.

The Southampton-based company's vans are powered by four-cylinder engines mated to six-speed ECO-Gear manual gearboxes, to maximise fuel efficiency.

First to arrive was a 163bhp Vito 116 CDI, but the latest four are all 113 CDIs, which deliver 136bhp and 310Nm of torque.

Refix managing director Chris Mansfield says that key to his decision to switch to Mercedes-Benz vans was the comprehensive and cost-effective back-up on offer from Pentagon Commercials.

"These vans are fully equipped with all of the tools, spares and access gear our engineers need to do their jobs, so it's crucial that we keep them out there and working – a courtesy vehicle is no good to us," states Mansfield.

"That's why the fact that Pentagon can service our vehicles through the night is so attractive. Unlike our previous supplier, it's a commercial vehicle specialist and really understands the requirements of a business such as ours," he adds.
