Therefore, these Berlingo First vans will add up to the other 62 Citroens in the 420 strong WYF&RS vehicle fleet. “We have a good experience with Citroens. The Berlingo First van has proved to be reliable, versatile and good value, which is important when you are spending tax payers’ money,” said Mike Walker, West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Services’ Fleet Controller.
With the help of half-wrap vinyl graphics, the Berlingo First vans’ livery show the fire prevention service that West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service offers. The livery images include a fire safety message, a road safety message and an arson alert message showing a burnt-out car on an estate.
“We have a wide range of initiatives aimed at promoting a safe environment from fires. The Berlingo Firsts will be used to deliver this fire prevention message, whether installing fire alarms, explaining arson prevention or attending local fetes and galas,” Mr Walker added.
The Berlingo is a leisure activity vehicle and a cargo van manufactured on the same platform as its stable-mate, the Peugeot Partner. It was introduced in 1996 and a revised version featuring a redesigned interior and front end was released in 2003.
The first generation Berlingo has proved to be Citroen's most successful van ever. The older versions of the van are now badged Berlingo First. The van is available in two engine configurations, as it follows: 1.4i Euro 4 75hp petrol engine and 1.6HDi diesel Euro 4 75hp, with the latter being able to run on up to 30 percent bio diesel without modification.
