SATELLITE navigation and in-car entertainment company Pioneer has chosen MINI to showcase its latest products.

A fleet of 22 MINIs, which will be liveried with Pioneer branding, will be used to demonstrate the group's products at dealers around the country.

Fleet funding group Alphabet has supplied the vehicles on a three-year contract hire agreement.

Mark Nash, general manager of Pioneer's car division, said: 'These are the first MINIs on this scheme in the UK and we expect further Pioneer franchises to join the scheme shortly.'
