The Scottish firm, which recently expanded into the English marketplace, now has a fleet of more than 6,000 vehicles, the vast majority of them vans, now including the Citan models.
Supplied by Dealer Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicles Ayr, the Citans are all 109 CDI models powered by high-torque 1.4-litre engines rated at 90PS.
Customers can choose between Long and Extra-long versions, according to their cargo-carrying requirements and a significant proportion of the vehicles are equipped to BlueEFFICIENCY specification. These models gain additional features such as low rolling-resistance tyres, an optimised battery and alternator management system and the ECO start/stop function helping to contribute to an economy figure of 65.7mpg and CO2 emissions as low as 112g/km.
TOM group operations director James Rafferty said: ‘As a rental operator we want vehicles which are reliable and cost-effective over their whole life. The Citan offers a class-leading warranty which will protect our maintenance position and ensure that we are covered for the working life of the vehicle.
‘Equally important, the Citan is also extremely fuel-efficient, which makes it a highly attractive proposition for customers – these new vans are already proving very popular, with many having been snapped up for long-term contracts by established customers.’
