Citroen’s record-breaking start to 2008!

Citroen starts 2008 with its best-ever light commercial vehicle (LCV) January sales figures and has achieved third place in the up to 3.5 tonne gvw sector. At 2,032, Citroen’s January LCV sales were up by over 38 per cent year on year and the company reached an impressive 9.12 per cent share of the market.

Citroen’s strong start to the year follows on from its best ever annual sales performance when the company sold 25,530 LCVs in 2007. All four Citroen LCV ranges contributed to the company’s success during January 2008:-

C2 Enterprise 15
Berlingo 1,077
Dispatch 426
Relay 514

Robert Handyside, Citroen’s commercial vehicle operations manager, remarks, “Citroen has started its LCV business in 2008 in the best possible way, with these record January sales figures. With the forthcoming launch of the new Nemo and Berlingo models we will be able to add even greater sales potential to our existing four strong range, which has already demonstrated its popularity with both large and small LCV operators.”
