PEUGEOT has secured a deal for its Expert van with forklift truck manufacturer Lansing Linde.

The company wanted a fleet of medium-sized vans which could be used by service engineers carrying out maintenance visits, and the Expert was identified as the ideal vehicle to fill the gap.

Lansing Linde's purchasing manager Pam Verney said: 'It is essential our service engineers can respond to customers and we were looking for a van which would allow them to do this.

'The Expert is an ideal solution and provides our service engineers with good storage capacity. We have more than 20 Experts so far, and this number could well increase.' The Experts have been taken on a mix of contract hire and outright purchase through Peugeot dealership Bristol Street Waltham Cross.
