Citroën Berlingo vans with e-HDi micro-hybrid Stop & Start
technology enable drivers to automatically comply with Transport
for London’s (TfL’s) latest advice to improve air quality in the
Capital. In its ‘Switch Off Your Engine’ campaign, TfL
says it is beneficial to turn off engines if they are idling for
more than a minute. |

Citroën Berlingo e-HDI Airdream models
automate this process. When a Berlingo e-HDi van comes to a halt, the
engine stops automatically - cutting idling time to zero, eliminating
emissions and also saving fuel. The engine is automatically restarted as
soon as the driver depresses the clutch or takes their foot off the
brake (EGS6 models). Not only does the system reduce emissions in line
with TfL’s latest advice, it also improves fuel consumption by up to 15%
in urban driving conditions. The environmental and financial benefits
with Berlingo e-HDi Airdream models are available for a small premium
(from just £145) above the price of an equivalent standard Berlingo. |
In addition, all Berlingo vans are
specified with Citroën’s unique Trafficmaster telematics package. This
further reduces urban fuel consumption and emissions by offering the
fastest congestion avoidance routing direct to the driver. Citroën also
addresses TfL’s concerns about particulate emissions with a Diesel
Particulate Filter System (DPFS) fitted to all its Euro 5 HDi-powered
LCVs.
Scott Michael, Citroën’s Commercial
Vehicle Operations Manager, commented: “Citroën has a track record of
producing low emitting LCVs and we are now offering van buyers even
lower emission alternatives, while minimising or eliminating altogether
the cost penalty usually associated with new clean fuel-efficient
technology. With lower emissions and lower running costs too, it’s a
win-win deal for van owners and the environment.”
