Five manufacturers join Van Excellence

Date: 27/4/2012

Five vehicle manufacturers have been named partners of the Freight Transport Association's (FTA) Van Excellence scheme.

Fiat, Isuzu, Mercedes, Nissan and Volkswagen will work with the organisation to develop new standards for customer service.

They will also promote dealership support and look out for the interests of van operators and drivers.

Head of Vans and Light Commercial Vehicles at the FTA Mark Cartwright explained his group has developed strong working relationships with members of the Van Excellence initiative.

"Becoming a partner of the scheme allows them to demonstrate their support for van operators and their drivers and their commitment to high standards of support and service," he added.

These manufacturers are not the only firms to join the initiative, as supermarket retailer Sainsbury's recently received accreditation after meeting the standards of the Van Excellence Code.

Van Excellence was given the Best New Product or Service Award at the recent Fleet News Awards.
