The long-bodied 109 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY arrived via local Aldershot dealer Rossetts Commercials, and was wrapped in the companies’ pink livery by Reade Signs, also of Aldershot.
The model’s 90hp diesel engine is enhanced by BlueEFFICIENCY technology, including the ECO Start/Stop function, low rolling resistance tyres and optimised alternator and battery management systems. Mercedes claim that the result is a market-leading economy figure of up to 65.7mpg and CO2 emissions as low as 112g/km.
The vehicle offers 3.7m³ of carrying capacity but should more be required, a clever hinged bulkhead and flat-folding passenger seat frees up extra load space.
Rays Florist managing director Garath Sweet commented: ‘I drove a Citan for the first time during Rossetts Commercials’ launch event at Mercedes-Benz World in Brooklands, and we’ve been looking forward ever since to the arrival of our own van.
‘It’s living up to all our expectations. The Citan looks great and is a joy to drive, while also proving highly economical to run. We’re very pleased too with the first class service we receive from Rossetts Commercials – during a long association the dealer has always met the needs of our business.’
