Big fleet order for Grand C4 Picasso

CITROEN’S new Grand C4 Picasso has won its first major fleet order, with Helphire Group ordering 300 1.6HDi and 2.0HDi diesel powered models.

Helphire Group, the UK company which helps drivers involved in accidents but were not at fault, ordered 90 1.6HDi SX and 95 2.0HDi VTR+ models, all equipped with Citroen’s electronic gearbox system, as well as 45 1.6HDi SX and 50 1.6HDi VTR+ models.

The seven seat MPVs will be used by Bath-headquartered Helphire Group’s customers, whose own vehicles are off the road being repaired.

Helphire Group already operates 1,500 Citroen cars and vans, as part of a UK fleet of over 10,000 vehicles, which range from motor scooters to light commercial vehicles.
