84.09mpg is the amazing fuel
consumption returned by a Citroën Nemo 1.4HDi van in the independent ALD
Automotive/Total Excellium MPG Marathon 2008 organised by Fleet
World magazine. With this outstanding figure the Citroën Nemo
takes over the mantle as the UK’s most fuel-efficient van from the
Citroën C2 Enterprise, which has held the title since 2006. The 84.09mpg
figure was achieved despite the van carrying half its gross payload, to
simulate real-world usage scenarios.

Driven by John Kendall, editor of
Van Fleet World magazine and co-driver Dr Paul Nieuwenhuis,
director of the Centre of Automotive Research at Cardiff Business
School, the Citroën Nemo beat all the other LCVs on the 411.57 mile
event. John Kendall reports that, “The Nemo returned 84.09mpg over a
very demanding route, which included virtually every type of UK road
condition, ranging from Bristol’s heavy urban traffic, through fast
motorway running, mountainous Welsh A roads and tortuous country B
roads.” |
Robert Handyside, Citroën UK’s
commercial vehicle operations manager, comments, “The Nemo’s incredible
84.09mpg fuel economy figure highlights the outstanding efficiency of
Citroën’s advanced HDi engines. Now with the accolade as the UK’s most
fuel efficient van and the recognition provided by its newly-won
International Van of the Year 2009 status, the Nemo is truly the van for
today’s current tough economic conditions.”
Competitively priced from just £8,295 +
VAT, the advanced, compact high-cube, Nemo van offers an unrivalled
combination of low operating costs, high (610kg) payload and a practical
and spacious 2.5cu.m load compartment. The Nemo also looks after its
driver with a well equipped cabin, which provides high standards of
safety and comfort.
