MEALS-ON-WHEELS supplier apetito has taken delivery of its first of 47 Citroen Berlingo 'apetito chefmobil' vans.

The Trowbridge-based company is taking a total of 47 Berlingos that will join a fleet of 130 specially converted Citroen Dispatch meals-on-wheels vans, all of which were acquired in the last two years.

The vehicles are converted and supplied by contract hire and leasing company Trowbridge Vehicle Contracts (TVC), which was recently acquired by Fleetlease (UK).

The 'apetito chefmobil' ovens allow meals to be loaded in a frozen state and heated en-route.

TVC contracts manager Glenn Whatley said: 'Both the Citroen Dispatch and Berlingo are ideal for the apetito chefmobil application, as their load compartments are ideal to fit the oven.'
