Sixt has added several special edition Volkswagen Crafter vans, each emblazoned with a fire-breathing dragon, to its rental fleet.

The vans have been commissioned with the design across the full length of the side panels as part of a Europe-wide campaign to raise the profile of the company’s van fleet offering.

Beverley Oliver, UK head of sales at Sixt, said: “The dragon was chosen for the special van livery to represent the strength and passion of the Sixt brand.

"Many of our customers remain unaware that commercial vehicles represent a substantial part of our overall portfolio, so with the help of our Sixt dragon we hope to raise awareness of this and establish ourselves as a complete solutions provider for all of our fleet customers’ needs.”
