AFI upgrades service vans

UK based access rental company AFI-Uplift has purchased 22 Citroën Berlingo Enterprise vans as part of a move to reduce the carbon footprint of its service van fleet.

It plans to replace the remainder of its existing service van fleet by the end of the second quarter 2011.
The 1.6HDi vans are smaller than the company’s existing vans and a good deal cleaner and efficient in terms of CO2 emissions and fuel economy.
