Fleet Van goes whole hog...
FLEET News readers will find a new free bi-monthly supplement in next week's issue – Fleet Van, the UK's most vibrant title for the light commercial vehicle sector.
Until now Fleet Van has been sent to selected readers on the Fleet News database, but the topics covered are of such broad fleet interest that it has been decided to extend the magazine to cover everyone for this issue.
Fleet Van is packed with practical advice for van fleet operators and is presented in a bright, breezy format that will entertain as well as educate.
Editor Trevor Gelken commented: 'I'm pleased to welcome all the readers of Fleet News to the vibrant world of vans. Even fleet decision-makers who don't run vans will find something of interest here.'
Fleet Van contains tables of pence-per-mile running costs for hundreds of models, so operators can compare models on a like-for-like basis before deciding which ones to buy. It is the only magazine on the market to offer these figures in such depth.
The July/August issue features road tests on the new Jeep Cherokee Pioneer, the new Isuzu Rodeo Denver and the Vauxhall Vivaro Sportive, while features include a back-to-basics guide on selecting the right fleet software package.
