Citroen has secured a deal to supply nine ë-Dispatch electric vans to specialist high-reach cleaning equipment supplier Varitech Systems.
The fleet of vehicles will be used by a customer of Varitech Systems to provide cleaning services across Leeds and the surrounding area.
Varitech Systems, which supplies a range of equipment under the Streamline brand, has customised the vans to cater for their customer’s specific needs – including the installation of a 650-litre water tank, modular flooring on top of a tank capable of holding up to 250kg, pumps, controllers and filters, all easily accessible from the vehicle's side or rear.
Scott Westerby, fleet director at Citroen UK, said: "It is great to hear Varitech Systems has placed an order for nine Citroën ë-Dispatch vans on behalf of their client."
The Citroën ë-Dispatch is the first vehicle to form part of Citroën's electrification strategy to offer fully electric variants across the van range by the end of 2021.
Varitech Systems is looking to make Citroën the sole supplier of vehicles for its Streamline fleet.
