Citroën Berlingo goes up in the world with AFI-Uplift

Citroën Berlingo Enterprise vans have been delivered to AFI-Uplift as part of a move to reduce the carbon footprint of its service van fleet.
The Wakefield-based powered access rental firm says it is working to reduce the size of its service engineers' vans to cut CO2 emissions and improve fuel economy. Hence, says Nick Higgins, AFI-Uplift's operations director, the 22 Citroën Berlingo Enterprise HDi 90 vans delivered and the remainder on order to replace its 30-strong service van fleet this spring. "We have been very pleased with our Citroën Dispatch vans. Now we have specified Berlingo vans for use by our skilled service engineers, to provide further environmental and fuel efficiency gains," comments Higgins. "The Berlingo's Trafficmaster Smartnav satellite navigation system will also provide further efficiency gains by making it easier for our service engineers to get to sites," he adds. In addition to the standard air conditioning, Bluetooth, USB connectivity and rear parking sensors on Berlingo Enterprise vans, Higgins specified ply-lining, alarms, full steel bulkheads and roof-mounted light bars.
