Members of Arval’s Van Team are to be recognised at this year’s CV Show for their work on improving service.
At the event, Mark Cartwright, head of light commercial vehicles at the Freight Transport Association, will present the first certificates for Arval’s new van training course.
Developed in conjunction with two of the company’s conversion partners, Bott and Clark’s Vehicle Conversions, the course is designed for members of the vehicle leasing and fleet management company’s Van Team and aligns with the aims of the FTA’s Van Excellence scheme.
The course includes information on vehicle types and sizes, as well as legislation covering Type Approval, tachographs, weights and vehicle speed limits. A key element is vehicle enhancement and the legislation covering this area, including how vehicles should be enhanced in line with ECWVTA and VCA requirements.
Simon Cook, LCV manager at Arval, explained: “We believe that the standards being set by our Van Team are industry-leading in terms of LCV consultancy and this new course is evidence of the depth and professionalism of our approach.
“The department has recently been expanded and the course will help to bring the new recruits up to expert status.”
