800 miles without a refill ! the Vauxhall Vivaro ecoFLEX

Following in the footsteps of Transit with the  ECOnetic and  Volkswagen with the  Crafter BlueMotion, Vauxhall never far behind launched the Vivaro ecoFLEX Euro 5 compliant panel van in early May 2012.

The fuel consumption of  this eco version is 40.9mpg, compared with 198g/km/37.6mpg for the equivalent standard model which over three years according to Vauxhall will save you  £800.  The 90-litre fuel tank will give a range of 800 miles. This is achieved with the appliance of  so-called green technology that includes.

•  Exhaust gas circulation cooling
•  Optimised gear ratios
•  Improved thermal management
• Low rolling resistance tyres
• Optional aerodynamic kit

To add further savings an optional speed limiter will  drive down fuel consumption to  42.7mpg and also extend the live of the  engine, maybe not  practical some businesses that  have time constraints imposed but worth considering.

This latest eco model is sure to keep  the Vivaro  position as the the  top-selling van in the medium panel van  retail segment.
