Trio of awards for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles!

The Volkswagen Transporter 6.1 and Crafter both crowned winners at the Trade Van Driver Awards

Both vans were praised for reliability and value-for-money, with Volkswagen City Emergency Braking taking home Best Technical Innovation

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has won three titles at the 2021 Trade Van Driver Awards, with the Transporter 6.1 being praised for its reliability, technology and unbeatable residual value taking Van of the Year title. The Volkswagen Crafter was honoured at the awards as the Best Large Van in 2021, coming out on top for comfort, outstanding value and overall performance.

The award-winning brand were also praised with Best Technical Innovation for its groundbreaking City Emergency Braking system, becoming the first to fit autonomous emergency braking systems back in 2017. Still today they remain the only OEM to do so, making it the standout manufacturer in this category.

The annual Trade Van Driver Awards highlight the leading commercial vehicles and innovations in the trade industry. The expert judging panel is made up of Trade Van Driver's writers and editors, all of whom apply years of invaluable industry knowledge to decide the winners in each category.

"We are thrilled to have collected three sought-after accolades at this year's Trade Van Driver awards. It is a testament to the performance, technology and reputation of our vehicle line-up as one of the best in the industry." said Kate Thompson, Head of Marketing for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

Breeze Motor Company Ltd, Breeze (Southampton) Ltd and Breeze Motorcycles Limited trading as Breeze Volkswagen, Breeze Suzuki, Geely Poole, Breeze Van Centres, Breeze Campers, Ducati Bournemouth and Van Mossel Breeze.

Breeze Motor Company Ltd, Breeze (Southampton) Ltd and Breeze Motorcycles Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Breeze Motor Company Ltd, Breeze (Southampton) Ltd and Breeze Motorcycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.

Lenders of vehicle manufacturers may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
