The Vauxhall Vivaro, produced in Luton, is the best-selling medium van this year with 6,423 registrations.
In the electric van market, Vauxhall tops the April sales charts and is the second best-selling brand year-to-date. The Combo Electric was the best-seller in its segment and the second best-selling electric van overall in April. It is produced at Ellesmere Port, the UK’s first dedicated electric vehicle manufacturing plant.
James Taylor, Managing Director of Vauxhall, said: “Vauxhall continues to demonstrate its commitment to providing practical and affordable light commercial vehicles for a wide range of personal and professional uses, with Vivaro leading the way in its segment this year. With the Combo Electric also topping its segment in April, it’s fantastic to see our UK-built vehicles proving popular with businesses across the country. In addition, the continued popularity of the Corsa further underlines its status as the UK’s favorite supermini.”
