Citroën is offering van operators a selection of extra equipment free of charge during its National Van Fortnight event, starting on July 16.

Vehicles bought at participating dealers will be fitted with a free Trafficmaster satellite navigation system and Trackstar GPS tracker, both with three years’ subscription. Dispatch and Relay panel vans, already fitted with the systems, will be offered with either speed camera and congestion information devices, a load liner or signwriting free of charge.

Dealers will also be able to offer savings on Relay, Berlingo and Dispatch models, as well as contract hire deals.

“The purpose of the event is to maximise opportunities,” said Robert Handyside, commercial vehicles operations manager. “We’re reluctant to put numbers on it but we’re looking for an increase in customer traffic flow and sales which should be significant and therefore worthwhile for dealers.”
