Independent parts distributor Motor Parts Direct (MPD) has taken delivery of 25 Citroën Nemo HDi 75 manual Stop & Start LX vans.
Now in its 11th year, the Braintree-based company recently opened its 38th depot, supplying parts for cars and LCVs to trade customers from Norwich to Poole in Dorset.
"We went for the LX spec as it sends a good message to the drivers," comments Mukesh Shah, chairman of Motor Parts Direct.
"It gives them a height-adjustable seat and other features, like a nearside sliding door and remote central locking, which are important when doing our type of multi-drop work," he adds.
With a 660kg payload allowance and up to 2.8m³ of load space, the Nemo, he says, can also accommodate MPD's wide range of parts – from wiper blades and brake discs to steering racks and oils.
The new Nemos join Relay and Dispatch vans in a 275-strong, predominantly Citroën, fleet.
