Volkswagen takes place the third and fifth with the Caddy and Transporter, while the large panel van Volkswagen Crafter took sixth place in our table.
Mercedes-Benz has been the most reliable van manufacturer third, while Fiat and Renault have made the top five.
Arguably the van reliability is more important than the company cars, because downtime with cars can be circumvented by rescheduling meetings or based on a telephone or video conference.
Vans are usually on the road because there is an essential duty of the show, such as the delivery of goods or services with another company rely on them.
Matthew Bowden, Head of Operations, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles We all know that the reliability is even more important for drivers of vans and fleet operators that their business depends on them, so this award is very important and explains one of why we are on track to sell more Volkswagen vans in the UK this year than ever before.
Superior reliability offers better business, strong demand Volkswagen van and stronger residual values to reduce costs of living, which makes every Volkswagen van owner of a winner.
Steve Bridge, van sales and marketing director at Mercedes-Benz UK, said We are delighted with the results FN50 reliability survey.
Sprinter is a favorite of the farm with many fleet managers, and these results demonstrate exactly why we understand the need of businesses to keep our vehicles on the road as much as possible and avoid downtime that could allow losses revenue for a company.
We promise that our vans prove trustworthy, reliable and desirable, and we will continue to strive hard to achieve it.
Editor in chief New fleet Stephen Briers added BMW has built on its most reliable car manufacturer position providing the largest contract hire companies in the UK, adding another attribute low CO 2 emissions, costs modest overall operating and rewarding driving behavior and make its cars more desirable for operators of the fleet.
Van reliability is arguably more important than the reliability of the car that the vital supply chains can be disrupted by unnecessary downtime Volkswagen demonstrated its leading position as a van manufacturer, and set high for its models, that fleet operators can choose its vehicles in confidence.
As the quality of vehicles continually improves, competition becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish the best performers The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has always had a reputation for strength and durability and top up the van FN50 reliability survey shows this impression is well deserved.
