Friday, April 22nd, 2011Ford Retail Group is to be responsible for the selling of the Electric Ford Transit Connect, confirmed by the manufacturer, Azure Dynamics.
Perhaps an unsurprising move that the Ford-owned dealer group should be the first to have the Connect Electric available for marketing in the UK prior to any other dealer. It is not yet clear whether other dealer groups will be given a shoot at selling the £40,000 van in the longer term. The company told us, “It is important when establishing a dealer network that the size, location and expertise of that network matches customer demand and needs – both now and for looking forward. This is particularly important with a new sector of the market. At present, Azure Dynamics are not looking to expand its network in the UK as it wants to ensure Ford Retail staff in all its key locations are properly trained and equipped to effectively look after those customers currently placing orders for the Transit Connect Electric.”
“Early Days” for Mercedes-Benz Retail’s London Van Foray
Thursday, April 21st, 2011“London is a huge opportunity for us – especially with the next phase of the LEZ around the corner,” explains Steve Bridge, director van sales and marketing for Mercedes-Benz.

He continues, “Vans sit between heavy commercials and the ‘glitzy’ car dealerships. The Mercedes-Benz Vito is a more ‘retail – based’ product and lends itself for selling through the car network, whilst the Sprinter is more likely to suit the dedicated commercial vehicle outlets.”

VW Commercial Vehicles March Record
Monday, April 18th, 2011Speaking at last month’s CV Show, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles managing director, Simon Elliot told audiences that the company had sold more vans in March than ever before.
He puts this success partially down to the availability of finance, however, the main reason is their standalone commercial vehicle network which, “can focus on the needs of customers.” Elliot continues that he wants to turn Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles into a “sexy” brand. It is unclear how this will be achieved through the sponsorship of darts, although the Volkswagen Caddy racer did look impressive on the stand – the only can to compete in a car racing series, (albeit with a car’s driveline).
