subject: 2010 Top Vans To Hire Or Buy [print this page] 2010 has seen awards granted to the best vans in the industry this year. What Van? Britains top buyers guide scoured the world, searching for the best vans out there for their 2010 What Van? awards. Like any good reviewer, they have been critical and fair, so as to find the best vans out there for you, whether you are choosing to hire or buy a van. Heres the top vans, What Van? has recommended in 2010.
Vans over the years have change somewhat, they have transformed into a vehicle that lasts longer and does not guzzle down as much fuel as it used to. With petrol increasing in price and Britain becoming more aware of its carbon footprint, emissions for vans have been lowered and vehicle requirements tightened.
The light weight champion for 2010 is the Nissan NV200. It may look small, but dont be fooled as lots of room comes in small packages. With a 4.2m3 capacity, this van has plenty of space, whether in use for commercial delivery or employed in helping moving house. So how did Nissan obtain this huge amount of space within a short but sweet van? In order to get greater room, they have put the seats further forward, leaving still ample space for the driver. The fuel tank has also been moved to be fitted under the drivers seat, creating plenty of room in the back. With over a 700kg payload, this van can handle a large amount without feeling too strained. Its an easy drive too as it glides along the roads with as much as ease as you would expect from a small car. Moreover, parking is no problem with this compact van, which can be easily maneuvered in and out of tight spaces.
What Van? have also introduced an Eco category. As we become aware of our carbon footprint, it is necessary to introduce Eco technology into our transport, in this case vans. This year, the Edison from Smith electronic vans won the Eco prize, dually down to its environmentally friendly factor and high performance. This battery powered machine with a electric motor does not opt on the power factor as it can reach similar speeds to any other van and can hold a payload up to 1,800kg on its biggest van. The Eco-Edison has very little in the way of a carbon footprint due to the fact it has no combustions engine, therefore no emissions. This also makes it a quite a peaceful and economic ride.
What Van? Have also a number of other van recommendations. Have at look at all their thoughts upon their website.
