Hot on the heels of Renault’s recent National Van Week, two more major van manufacturers have launched new van marketing programs to try and entice small business customers to buy new vans.

Peugeot has launched its own ‘Van Week’ – running from 2nd-8th February. According to April Harris, Peugeot’s UK LCV Product Manager, “Van Week is the ideal opportunity for our customers to take a look at the award winning Peugeot LCV line-up.”

Peugeot’s line up of vans includes the award-winning Bipper, which has been awarded both the What Van? ‘Van of the Year’ title and the International Van of the Year 2009 titles. It’s a city-sized van that is designed to make light work of tight city environments while retaining an impressive payload and loadspace.

Volkswagen, meanwhile, is offering new van customers 3-year, fixed-price service plans on all van models, including the Transporter-based Caravelle and California models. The deals start from just £295 and are available until 31st March, 2009.

Any retail or business customer* purchasing a new van before 31st March 2009 is eligible for the deals and there are a choice of mileage bands, ranging from 45,000 to 90,000.
