CITROEN has expanded its Relay van range with the launch of three new models - the 1000 and 1400 medium wheelbase standard roof vans and the 1400 long wheelbase high roof van.

The manufacturer says the three new vans meet changing operator demand for vehicles with a longer load deck and greater body volume - and compete in the same sector as the more expensive long wheelbase semi hi-roof Ford Transit 100 and 150.The new medium wheelbase vehicles are geared to suit a wide range of job applications including the carpet, plumbing and building trades.

The Relay 1000 medium wheelbase costs £12,815 (plus VAT) and has a gross vehicle weight of 1,135kgs. The 1,400 version costs £14,810 (plus VAT) and has a gross vehicle weight of 1,525kgs. Meanwhile, the 1400 long wheelbase high roof van, costing £16,880 (plus VAT) with a gross vehicle weight of 3250kgs, has been launched to satisfy customer demand for a vehicle for low density/high volume goods transport, where maximum cubic capacity is required.
