SPECIALIST equipment rental group Vp has taken delivery of its first Citroen C5s, with the company expecting to add up to 50 2.0 HDi models a year to its fleet.

The Harrogate-based company is providing 90bhp LX models and 110bhp SX models to its sales engineers, technical managers and sales and area representatives.

The cars have been supplied on a 42-month contract hire agreement through TC Harrison Leasing and are contracted to cover about 100,000 miles during that time.

Martin Noble-Nesbit, Vp's group procurement manager, said: 'The Citroen C5 met all our key operational requirements.

'The cars provide low cost of operation and good fuel consumption, together with high levels of safety, comfort and convenience.'
