Swinton Insurance have recently undertaken some research from their database of thousands of van insurance policyholders to establish which are the most popular makes and models of van on their books.
In first place is the Ford Transit Van
The Ford Transit has been around since 1955 since which time it has won numerous awards. It is favoured by more business and fleet owners than any other van on UK roads. It has excellent load capacity, fuel efficiency with its diesel engine and is great to drive.
In second place is The Mercedes Sprinter Van
The Mercedes carries that luxury marque and is fitted out to a high standard. It too has been in existence for some time- since 1995. Carrying capacity is very good and its diesel engine provides good fuel efficiency plus there are petrol and LPG versions.
In third place is the Vauxhall Combo Van
This van has been around in one guise or another since 1994. The latest version has a load capacity of one tonne, its diesel engine is extremely fuel efficient and the cab is comfortable to sit in.
In fourth place is the Volkswagen Transporter Van
This really is an old timer having been on our roads since 1950. The current model is fuel efficient, has excellent load carrying capacity, is easy to drive and has a comfortable cab.
In fifth place is the Citroen Dispatch Van
The Citroen Dispatch appeared on the scene in 1995 since which time it has grown in popularity with its good load capacity and fuel efficiency with a choice of engines. It is well fitted out including parking sensors.
Phil Moss who is the Commercial Vehicle Manager at Swinton stated, “Ford is one of the most popular vehicle manufacturers and its transit van has been one of the most popular models for over 40 years which our research reinforces. Over a third of our van insurance customers drive a Ford Transit van.”
