Global facilities management company Atalian Servest has become one of the first UK fleets to take delivery of Nissan’s new NV250 compact vans following an order for 100 vehicles.

Global facilities management company Atalian Servest has taken delivery of a new fleet of Nissan NV250 compact vans.

The business has welcomed 100 vehicles across its fleet. Glenn Napper, head of procurement for the UK & Ireland at Atalian Servest, said: “The Nissan LCV range is an excellent fit for Atalian Servest and these particular vehicles offer great versatility. They are a welcome addition to our fleet and complement a batch of fully electric Nissan e-NV200 vehicles delivered earlier in the year.”

Atalian Servest offers fully outsourced, integrated solutions for companies and the new NV250 vans will be used across its range of services that include catering, cleaning, technical services, projects and security.

The deal is part of Atalian Servest’s fleet renewal programme and the NV250 was selected for its size, price and low running costs.

The Renault Kangoo-derived NV250 is available with a payload of up to 800Kg and comes in two body lengths. Atalian Servest has opted for the long-wheelbase option. The vans are powered by a 1.5-litre diesel engine, which helps to reduce overall running costs thanks to optimised fuel efficiency.

Karen Reid, Nissan’s corporate sales manager for Scotland and the north of England, added: “This is a great indication of the popularity we can expect to see from NV250, and it’s no surprise with its great combination of space, technology and Nissan’s five-year warranty.

“It also performs exceptionally well against its competitors in terms of total cost of ownership – this is helped by its excellent residual values plus low service, maintenance and repair costs.”
