Volkswagens Reputation Procures Order for 80 Transporter Vans

It is celebration time for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles; the popular vehicle manufacturer just secured an order for over 80 of their Transporter vans to Arcus engineering. Arcus performs refrigeration maintenance under a contract that it has with South East for Sainsbury’s supermarkets. The order for the Transporters is a £1.7 million deal, which gives Volkswagen a reason to celebrate.

The fleet will be comprised of the new version of the Volkswagen Transport that was released earlier in the year, a version that is more fuel efficient than previous models. Along with the Transporters, the fleet will also include some of Volkswagen’s Caddy vans, which is a smaller vehicle. The Volkswagen Caddy vans will be for work inside London and surrounding areas. Lex Autolease has been in charge of the contract hire agreement as well as the interior conversion work.

Arcus Engineering, an Upminster, Essex based company is a sister company to ArcusFM, the company that oversees the facilities contract for Sainsbury’s network of stores. Volkswagen’s past reputation and years of experience was a major factor in securing this order from ArcusFM.

On commenting on ArcusFM choosing a Volkswagen product, Janet Bass, ArcusFM fleet manager said that is was imperative that Arcus Engineering got started out with a fleet that could be relied on and one that was robust. She noted that the Abridge Van Centre provided much help by supplying a range of demonstrator vehicles for us to try out before we chose the ones that we were going to use.
