The new Nemo van, the latest addition to the Citroën LCV range, has won the prestigious “Best New Van” award at the 2008 Van Fleet World Honours.
In addition, Citroën also received a highly commended “Van Fleet World Security Honour”.
The Nemo impressed the Van Fleet World judges with its 610kg payload and load volume of 2.50 cu m, combining a useful payload with maximum volume in a compact van, a size down from established light vans.
The Nemo also offers the loading flexibility of larger vans with a folding passenger seat to extend the load floor. A range of bulkhead options means the load space can be readily adapted to suit fleet requirements.
Van Fleet World judges praised the amount of standard equipment, such as ABS brakes, driver’s airbag, radio/CD player and adjustable steering wheel, with split central locking, cruise control, air conditioning, reversing sensors, heated and electric door mirrors and a choice of airbags, are all standard or optionally available equipment for the Nemo.
The Nemo goes on sale on 16 May and will be available with a choice of 1.4HDi diesel and 1.4i petrol engines and two trim levels. All 1.4HDi-powered Nemos have CO2 emissions below 120g/km.
Priced from £7,995 + VAT + delivery, the four-model Nemo range includes X and LX trim levels and offers a choice of a 1.4HDi 70hp diesel engine or a 1.4i 75hp petrol engine.
Both petrol and diesel-engined Nemos are available in X trim format, while the diesel-powered models are also offered in high-specification LX versions.
SensoDrive, Citroën’s clutchless, automated manual transmission will also be available.
