All about Van : Citroen Berlingo Dual Fuel












It is the Citroen Berlingo van really adds fuel to dual format.
Berlingo Citroen van makes the most sense to dual fuel format see here, based on entry-level 90bhp 1.6-liter engine fuel. The amendments take this variation from being a mediocre performer 34mpg when it comes to operating costs to be stand-out in this regard. In addition to the basic product itself is quite handy too. .
Other manufacturers van would probably like to know the reasons behind the success of Citroen in this field across Europe - so you should probably read this. Indeed, throughout the continent, one in seven products sold Citroen is a commercial vehicle. The French brand has triumphed in the design, marketing and pricing of commercial products to the needs of end users. Other manufacturers are talking about it, but finally seems to expect end users to match them.
A great example of Citroen's approach is "ready to run" the program. This produces a wide range of custom versions of their popular Nemo, Berlingo, Relay and mission models, tailored precisely to the needs of companies that might use them. The model we're looking at here, the Berlingo Dual Fuel, comes directly from the "ready to run" program and will exactly match the needs of a large number of players.
When we tested first the Berlingo van, be noted that we could not really understand why any company would choose the entry-level 1.6-liter version of petrol over the diesel HDi mileage unless they were extremely low (unlikely) or are planning to have a dual fuel conversion. How to organize such a thing? Well, you just talk to Citroen dealer.
The technologically advanced and seemingly very reliable Nicholson McLaren Engines »(NME) dual fuel conversion fitted to this Berlingo has proved to about 2.000 Nemo and Berlingo First Dual fuel trucks. The transformation is applied to the second generation Berlingo include a 59-liter LPG tank mounted in place of spare tire, the gas filler is placed alongside the gasoline filler in accordance with standard fuel filler flap. Berlingo 1.6i Dual Fuel trucks have the same performance characteristics, motor gasoline equivalent and meet both the new European model R115 and the current European standard R6701. It is also fully European On Board Diagnosis (EOBD)-compatible. The Citroën ready to run Dual Fuel trucks deliver all major savings in fuel costs and meet Powershift Band 4 emissions standards and are thus exempt from London Congestion Charge Zone charge, with additional savings of up to £ 1.696 per year
"The potential savings in day to day operational costs that will dwarf version boasts even those of modest variations diesel HDi" "
The L1 bodystyle Berlingo van're looking for here is 4380 mm length is 243 mm longer than the original Berlingo with 350 mm extra wheelbase to the apartment. The space at the rear is accessed via the side-hinged rear doors that open nearly 180 degrees and reveal a compartment is 1800 mm long in the L1 version and never less than 1229 mm wide. The sliding side doors are available as options, such as a hinged lid roof, through which time information can be pushed. The loading lip in the back is nice and low and the cargo bay gets excellent protection of the contents is courtesy of the investment that goes halfway up the sides of the vehicle. The diaphragm is a standard under stairs behind the driver's seat only and an unusual touch is the light load compartment that can be detached and used as a torch.
Internally, the Citroen Berlingo is an impressive work with good quality materials and neat design. The storage space is plentiful and ingenious solutions abound to swallow all the paraphernalia of your workday. There are two options and three-seater cabin and two-seater Berlingo, the single front passenger seat folds to reveal a desk and cup holders.
The space in the cabin of the Berlingo is immediately noticeable. It is great with plenty of room for driver and front passenger. The problems begin to appear when you set the three-seat model, a highly unusual inclusion in a van this size. Prominent dash mounted gear makes the middle bunk uninhabitable by anyone with legs and Citroen claim that the "occasional chair is ideal for young children seems a moot point. The few remaining chimney sweeps may be interested, but in this day and age, as your child works on a daily basis is rightfully up. The real advantage of the cabin in detail, as the three-seater layout is known, is the ability to fold the outer passenger seat down to increase the load length available. You can also flip the seat cushion until it makes a convenient storage space in the cabin floor.
Citroen now offers the widest range of petrol / gas trucks available from any manufacturer LCV in the United Kingdom. The Berlingo 1.6i Dual van fuel also sells a similar version of the old design Berlingo (called «Berlingo First»), and the smaller 1.4i Nemo Dual van fuel. Offers Citroen Berlingo Dual Fuel in two trim levels, X and LX as the price of around £ 10.000 mark. Standard equipment includes ABS brakes, trip computer, a stereo CD, central locking, electric front windows and internally adjustable door mirrors. The LX adds remote central locking, heated electric wing mirrors and an external temperature sensor. There is also considerable power of attraction of the model of Trafficmaster Smartnav satellite navigation and vehicle monitoring system. An interesting option is the All-Road package which is designed Berlingos regularly faced with rough surfaces with larger tires and under the protection of the body.
It would be understandable if the people who keep close eye on the market of light commercial vehicles were mildly flummoxed by the Citroen Berlingo. The various contenders small van that is used to conveniently fit into niche markets, but Citroen has expanded to provide this larger Berlingo model with the smallest Nemo found below. The Berlingo is responsible for the pinch in sales of smaller models in panel van and do battle with their direct competitors as the long wheelbase Ford Transit Connect and Volkswagen Caddy Maxi.
The Berlingo Citroen van is already good enough to hold her own in a difficult market LCV but this double possibility of converting the fuel is added an additional and very useful string to the bow. The potential savings in day to day operational costs that will dwarf version boasts even those of modest variations diesel HDi, so this option is one that retailers should not ignore.
And the same Berlingo van? Well, it is more car-like than ever and far greater than you can imagine too. Insofar as the fact that he could make more sense than the largest van might have been considered. Reduce costs without compromising on space certainly has its appeal.
