Toyota Ireland today announced that Northgate Vehicle Hire has chosen the Toyota Auris van as the newest addition to its fleet.

The deal accounts for a total of 30 Auris Vans to be supplied to Northgate.

Lee Saunders of Northgate Vehicle Hire said: “The decision to go with the Auris Van was actually a relatively easy one to make.

“Toyota has an excellent reputation for quality, great value and incredibly fuel efficient vehicles – key attributes we look for when selecting new vehicles for our fleet.

“The Auris Van also perfectly matches our customer needs in the light commercial vehicle range and will definitely enhance our large fleet offering.”

Cathal Ryan, fleet manager for Toyota, said: “We are very proud to have been chosen to supply Auris Vans to Northgate -- a company with a significant history in the commercial vehicle rental market, and one that certainly knows what its customer base is looking for.

“We believe that our reputation in quality, dependability and performance continues to stand to Toyota in what are increasingly difficult market conditions and the success in winning this contract is clearly representative of the confidence the Toyota brand continues to inspire.”
