Scott Michael, Citroën's head of commercial vehicles & business centre programme, remarked: ‘I am delighted that the Citroën LCV range has taken third place in the LCV sales chart with a best-ever market share of 10.89%. I am also pleased to see that all four Citroën LCV models have performed well, illustrating just how comprehensively our range meets customer needs.
'The Berlingo merits a special mention as this, our best-selling LCV model, has again outsold its high-cube competitors by a substantial margin. All our dealers have to be congratulated on their success in boosting Citroën's January LCV sales, as do our Business Centres, who continue to increase the company's business with Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This, when combined with our substantial uplift into large National Fleets, has led to this record breaking result.’
