Vauxhall unveiled its new
Vivaro medium sized panel van at the CV Show. Built by Renault, it too
will have the same range of 1.6 twin turbo diesels and they have no
doubts about the smaller capacity engine's ability to carry weight and pull trailers.
And it's not just swanky car shows that have unveilings with a good
press and media turnout gathered around to see the sheet being swept
aside by Tim Tozer, Chairman and MD of Vauxhall Motors.
There's
another point worth bearing in mind here too. Vauxhall is the last
manufacturer building vans in the UK at their Luton facility. The staff
and management have worked hard over the past two and a half years to
ensure the future of this plant and they will continue to build standard
Vivaro, Trafic and Nissan Primastars for the UK and European markets
while the French send over the engines.
Another wee fact. Over 40% of the content in the manufacture of Vivaro is sourced in the UK.
