Charles Peugeot,Head of Commercial Vehicles and Business Sector comments, “Citroën has enjoyed both a strong April and 2010 YTD sales performance, and has significantly out-performed a fast-rising market. This success has been achieved thanks to an outstanding range of products, highly attractive customer offers and consistent results across all of our LCV models.”

In 2010, Citroën has acted decisively to ensure the success of its technically-advanced, environmentally-responsible LCV product range. Building upon the strengths of the Citroën LCV range - low emissions, exceptional fuel efficiency and low running costs - Citroën has introduced an on-going programme of attractive Citroën Contract Motoring contract hire finance options.

In addition, in 2010, to improve safety, productivity and to further lower running costs, Citroën has made Trafficmaster Smartnav satellite navigation and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking standard on all Berlingo, Dispatch and Relay panel vans. Citroën has also launched range-topping Nemo, Berlingo, Dispatch and Relay Enterprise vans with comfort, safety and communications enhancements.
