Hitachi Capital Commercial Vehicle Services has become a recognised Freight Transport Association (FTA) Van Excellence Partner.

After undertaking an audit to the standards of the Van Excellence Code which sets demanding expectations for van operation, Hitachi Capital Commercial Vehicle Services passed the evaluation and were invited to be enrolled in the Van Excellence scheme. Hitachi Capital Commercial Vehicle Services now joins many of its blue chip clients in being a member of the Van Excellence scheme.

As part of its recognised status as a Van Excellence Partner, Hitachi Capital Commercial Vehicle Services will aim to promote the development of safe and efficient operational best practice in the operation of vans and light commercial vehicles.

Mike MacDougall, Hitachi Capital Commercial Vehicle Services head of commercial vehicle sales said: “We’re proud to have been invited to join as a recognised Van Excellence Partner. We always promote the best operational standards and we look forward to working closely with the FTA to continue our high standards of van operation.”

Van Excellence is an industry-led initiative that aims to enhance standards of van operator compliance, celebrate operators who demonstrate excellence and represent the interests of the van industry.
