The vehicles will be used by the Council’s construction and plumbing maintenance teams.
In addition to Volkswagen’s BlueMotion Technology – which helps the City Council’s Caddy fleet meet its stringent emissions targets – the vans also have a high standard specification, which includes: cruise control, rear parking sensors, and electrically heated and adjustable door mirrors.
Commenting on the new models, Fraser Crichton at Dundee City Council, said: ‘It is vitally important that we invest in the most cost effect fleet we can. We rely on our fleet of vehicles every day and the Caddy delivers excellent durability and reliability, which ensures the whole life cost is kept to a minimum.
‘The Caddy also comes with a three-year warranty and strong aftersales support that includes a like-for-like replacement scheme. This additional support ensures that we are able to keep our maintenance teams on the road even if a problem should occur or when it comes to routine servicing.
‘The Caddy is compact, offers a good payload capacity and works well in the city centre. All of which made it an easy decision to increase the Volkswagen offering in our fleet.’
