Gloom for British motor industry lifts with boom for Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles

The British motor manufacturing industry has been in steady decline since the 1980s. In a country with such an illustrious motoring heritage, it is nothing short of criminal that there are currently no major car manufacturers which are British owned and run. Once proudly British marques such as Bentley and Rolls Royce are now owned by Volkwagen and BMW respectively. BMW also owns the Mini franchise and most recently, Indian conglomerate Tata snapped up the Jaguar, Rover and Land Rover franchises in a multi-billion pound deal.

The recent demise of the Rover motor company exemplified the problem as a combination of mis-management and poor financial planning. For years British manufacturers have been falling behind their foreign rivals and this became evident with the closure of Rover’s Longbridge plant in April 2005. Some may argue that Government intervention could and should and have prevented the fall of this once successful car maker. One could cite the example of the French Government-subsidised car industry as the way forward. Manufacturers such as Renault and Citroen receive Government funding in their operations, helping them, particularly Citreon, to undercut competitor prices significantly.

The recent Northern Rock crisis illustrates that Government intervention can help to stimulate recovery and could, in the case of Rover have prevented the loss of thousands of jobs. It’s not all doom and gloom however. In the commercial vehicles market, Vauxhall’s British manufacturing operations are booming. Last year, the company recorded record sales of their British produced models, the Vauxhall Astravan and Vivaro.

Plants in Ellesmere Port in Cheshire and at the company’s base in Luton produce over 100,000 light commercial vehicles (LCV) a year, which find homes all over Europe. In 2007, 50,000 Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles were sold here in the UK, of which 60% were manufactured here in Britain.

The Luton plant recently celebrated the 500,000th Vivaro model rolling off the production line. All in all, 2007 was a great year for Vauxhall Commercial as it scooped a host of accolades, including the much-coveted, Green Fleet manufacturer award.

Van leasing and Vauxhall van leasing - the way forward for businesses of today

Gone are the days when a firm would buy its employees a fleet of company cars/vans direct from the manufacturer, this has been replaced on the whole by van leasing or Vauxhall van leasing by specialised firms such as Select vehicle leasing. We have a wealth of experience and have the necessary knowledge base and vehicle portfolio to supply you with the right car leasing, at the right price within the right package for your particular company´s needs.

We specialise in Mitsubishi, in particular the Mitsubishi L200 and specialist car leasing agreements, Vauxhall car leasing options are also available.

Picking the right vehicles for your requirements

Picking the right vehicle might seem simple, for instance you´ve always wanted a Mercedes - choice made, but is not as simple as this. Picking the right vehicles is essential for projecting the right image to clients; there is also a very practical reason for picking the right Vauxhall van leasing or other van leasing contract. For instance if your job entailed visiting building sites, a sporty low to the ground vehicle would not be appropriate and if the purpose of the vehicles was for long road journeys a 4x4 off roader would perhaps not be suitable. Here at select vehicle leasing we can advise you on every step of the way regarding your car leasing or Vauxhall van leasing requirements, from Vauxhall car leasing to a Mitsubishi L200 contract, we can give you impartial advice about which choice of vehicles, car leasing or car hire that best suit your requirements. We have a team of very experienced advisors with specialists in all aspects of van leasing. Your first step when trying to source a suitable leasing specialist would probably be the internet, don´t be taken in by a flashy website, anyone can produce a website, make sure you call the company and visit the premises, this will enable you to get a feel for the company and aid you in your final decision. Searching the internet by vehicle type is also a popular way of attaining the right contract for your company, for instance if you searched on google under the search term ‘Mitsubishi L200’, Select vehicle leasing would probably come near the top of the natural listings, this is also a good way to assess a company´s specialist knowledge in a particular field or genre of vehicle and their knowledge of the business in general. Using the search term ‘Vauxhall car leasing’ would also see Select Vehicle leasing feature highly.

You´ve found a reputable company, you found the correct vehicles, what sort of lease do you look for?

Selecting the right car leasing/Vauxhall car leasing or Vauxhall van leasing contract for your particular needs are just as important as picking the right vehicle. A good example of why it is of paramount importance to select the correct period of van leasing or Vauxhall van leasing is perhaps, for example, your company is in its infancy and you are not sure which direction the company will take in the first 12 months, it would be pure folly to select a 3 year car leasing agreement. Again, the advisors at Select Vehicle leasing will be able to advise on the different types of van leasing contracts to suit your needs, be it a fleet of vans or a single Mitsubishi L200. When committing to a contract of any kind it really is essential to get the right advice from the professionals, from the smallest van to a top of the range Mitsubishi L200, here at select vehicle leasing we have the necessary knowledge base to address all your concerns. To conclude, put a lot of thought into the type and length of lease that is right for you, picking an inappropriate lease can cause major headaches and leave you financially out of pocket; our Vauxhall car leasing options are particularly attractive to the smaller business.

Vehicles leases and contract hire - the main points

To reiterate, there are a few points that must be adhered to when committing to van leasing or long term car hire, these are as follows, in no particular order: picking the right fleet of vehicles for your needs, for example a Mitsubishi L200 might not project the image you require for an investment banking firm. We currently have a huge range of Vauxhall car leasing options which are also very cost effective. Van leasing and car contact hire have potential pitfalls including lots of legal implications; make sure you select the right car leasing for your needs and requirements, selecting an unsuitable car leasing agreement could have disastrous implications for your business.
