The New Vauxhall Movano Van.

Vauxhall has released more details of its new Movano van, which goes on sale in May with a claimed 29 different body styles, which include includes panel van, doublecab and Combi versions, chassis cabs with standard or crew cab, platform cab, three wheelbases, four vehicle lengths and three roof heights.

Under the bonnet a new generation of 2.3 CDTi four-cylinder common-rail diesel engines is said to combine strong performance with low operating costs. Three power outputs are available: 100PS/285 Nm, 125 PS/310 Nm and 150PS/350 Nm.
All engines come with a six-speed gearbox as standard and are Euro 4 or Euro 5 (with DPF) compliant. The 125PS and 150PS versions can be coupled with the semi-auto Techshift transmission.

Crazy Van Stunt!

Crazy stunt in van!

Great stunt but please do not try it in your van down the street as it will probably go horribly wrong.

Lets leave it to this nutter entertain us.

November rally for Light Commercial Vehicles values

November recorded the highest average LCV values for two years as buyers competed strongly in the auction halls and online. Average van prices increased to £3,902 from the £3,858 recorded in October, and even outpaced the January 2008 high point of £3,868.

The rise of £44 - equivalent to a 1.2% increase - may be modest but will be welcomed by vendors as there were indications that values may have already peaked earlier this year. However, another strong month in the auction halls at BCA saw values climb yet again.

Model mix was broadly the same, although reduced numbers of higher value nearly-new vans were sold in November, which makes the increased average value seem relatively even stronger. Volumes were slightly down on last month.

BCA's Duncan Ward commented "Year-on-year values are now ahead by an astounding £1,089 - the biggest year-on-year margin on record and reflecting both the strong performance in November 2009 and just how weak the LCV sector was in November 2008."

Despite the average price increase, performance against CAP continued to fall and settled at 98.36%, with a further 3 points lost against last months average. CAP performance has fallen by over six points in the last two months alone.

Fleet & lease van values were the main beneficiary of the increase as prices increased by £146 to £4,344 (up 3.5%) - the highest average value on record. Average age and mileage remain little changed over the past 24 months at around 41 months and 62,000 miles, although both price and CAP performance have been on a rollercoaster ride.

Ward commented "End users have remained very active in the marketplace and delivery firms expanding capacity in advance of Christmas have no doubt buoyed the average price. Year-on-year, fleet & lease van values in November 2009 are £1,256 - a staggering 40.6% - ahead of the same period last year."
