Richard Irvin Services plumps for 275 Nissan vans 05 June 2013

Nissan has taken its largest LCV corporate deal yet, with an initial 275 vans ordered for Richard Irvin Services Group (RISG), the Scottish building services and engineering company.

The Nissan LCVs – comprises 220 NV200s and 55 Primastars – were chosen after intensive testing by the company's field engineers.

They will be delivered in stages over the next 30 months, with each van kept for four years. The NV200s will also have roof racking fitted with a roller bar plus internal racking for equipment and tools storage.

24 NV200s and 10 Primastars are already with RISG field engineers who will use the new vehicles to provide an around-the-clock maintenance service.

George Robb, Richard Irvin Services Group procurement director, says the company wanted to replace part of its fleet with vehicles that are not only reliable and can comfortably house repair equipment, but would also keep drivers in comfort and safety.

"We're currently going through a period of investing in our people and capital, and this deal marks an integral part of this strategy," states Robb.

"We took a product-, rather than price led, selection approach by making sure our drivers tested the vehicles first to ensure they were fit for purpose," he continues.

"We're happy the feedback so far from the drivers has been so positive."
