The Citan was supplied to Nurturing Nature by local Mercedes-Benz dealer, Enza. Powered by a 75hp 1.4-litre diesel engine, Mercedes claims the long-bodied Citan 108 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY is capable of a market-leading 65.7mpg, and produces CO2 emissions as low as 112g/km.
The vehicle's BlueEFFICIENCY features include the ECO start/stop function as well as low rolling resistance tyres and optimised settings for both battery and alternator management systems.
‘Everything I do is focused on the environment,’ explained George Pilkington. ‘So when I needed a van, I did my homework to find the most eco-friendly vehicle I could. The Citan is extremely fuel-efficient and fits my lifestyle perfectly – I especially like the start/stop system, as it’s a constant reminder that the vehicle is doing its bit to reduce its carbon footprint.
‘The BlueEFFICIENCY Citan helps immediately to portray the right environmental image wherever I visit, and is also a smart-looking and comfortable vehicle with a very useful load-space. Enza added some extra load restraint points for me to help carry my products safely. I was very impressed by the sales executive’s attention to little details and determination to make sure my van was configured just right.’
