The 1,000th Citroën
Berlingo 600 LX 1.4i van has just been converted for dual fuel
(petrol/LPG) operation by Nicholson McLaren Engines (NME). The NME
Berlingo dual fuel van is exempt from the London Congestion Charge as it
meets Powershift Band 4 emissions standards.
This provides
Congestion Charge zone based operators of Berlingo dual fuel vans with a
significant cost saving of upto £1,696 p.a. as well as providing fuel
cost savings. Typically a Berlingo dual fuel van covering 10,000 miles
per annum will virtually repay the cost of conversion in its first year
of operation.
Robert Handyside,
Citroën’s commercial vehicle operations manager, says, “For operation in
Congestion Charge zones, the Berlingo dual fuel is a practical,
productive and very economical solution. Whether it is intensive urban
operation or inter-city courier use from a London base, the NME
converted Berlingo dual fuel has proved to be an exceptionally reliable
and economical transport option.
Fitted to the Euro IV
1.4i 75hp powered Berlingo 600 LX van, the dual fuel conversion costs
£2,000 + VAT. The conversion includes either a 43 litre LPG tank
mounted in place of the spare wheel or a 100 litre tank fitted in the
load area.
The Berlingo dual fuel
conversion has the same 12,500 mile/annual service requirements as the
original 1.4i petrol engined vehicle. All Berlingo dual fuel
conversions are covered by a two year unlimited mileage/3 year, 100,000
mile warranty. In the Greater London area, there are 80 LPG filling
stations and 1,286 UK wide – providing the UK with more LPG outlets per
total number of filling stations than any other country in Europe.
