Bipper van is an award-winner – just weeks before going on-sale in June Peugeot van range now covers six-models Endorsement for Bipper van recognised affordability, design and capability The new Peugeot Bipper van, the latest addition to Peugeot's comprehensive LCV range, has been awarded ‘Best New Van' award at the 2008 Fleet World Honours.

The Bipper delighted Van Fleet World judges with its novel features; a 610 kg payload and load volume of 2.5 m3, all contained in a compact exterior with an overall length of only 3.86 m.  Bipper also offers the flexible loading of bigger vans with its innovative Multi Flex folding passenger seat that lowers to the load floor level, so extending the load length and volume to 2.49 m and 2.8 m3 respectively.  A range of bulkhead options also enables the load space to be readily adapted to suit specific customer requirements.

The judgement by Van Fleet World judges also recognised the virtues of the comprehensive standard equipment specification of the new Bipper.

April Harris, Peugeot's Light Commercial Vehicle product and pricing manager, said, "We're looking forward to offering our customers all the virtues that the new Bipper van offers, recognised by the judges in naming it ‘best new van' in the Fleet World awards.  Customers will also recognise the benefits of Bipper being economical, environmental, cost-effective, compact while not compromising on load capacity and payload."
