When managing a business or operating a fleet, keeping running costs low is a top priority. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by choosing a fuel-efficient used van. At Big Van World, we specialise in offering models that combine reliability, practicality, and excellent fuel economy. Here’s our guide to some of the most fuel-efficient used vans available today.
The Ford Transit Connect is a superb choice for those who want a compact van that drives like a car but works like a commercial vehicle. Versions powered by the 1.5-litre EcoBlue diesel engine are particularly impressive, offering great fuel efficiency and strong performance, making them ideal for businesses needing versatility and economy.
The Citroën Berlingo remains one of the most popular small vans on the market, praised for its practicality and low running costs. Opting for a model fitted with the 1.5-litre BlueHDi diesel engine ensures you get a van that is both efficient and durable, perfect for daily deliveries, service calls, or transporting equipment.
Closely related to the Citroën Berlingo, the Peugeot Partner shares many of the same strengths but adds its own distinctive style. Powered by the 1.5-litre BlueHDi engine, it offers a smooth, economical drive alongside excellent load space and smart cabin design, making it an attractive choice for a variety of trades.
For those who value a premium driving experience alongside efficiency, the Volkswagen Caddy is well worth considering. Models featuring the 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine deliver impressive economy and refinement. With solid build quality and a comfortable interior, the Caddy is a brilliant all-rounder for both city work and longer journeys.
The Mercedes-Benz Citan is a compact van that punches above its weight in terms of quality and economy. Equipped with the 1.5-litre diesel engine, it offers reliable fuel efficiency combined with the robust engineering you would expect from Mercedes-Benz. It’s particularly suited to urban operations but is just as capable on the open road.
The Vauxhall Combo is another standout in the small van segment, offering impressive fuel economy and practicality. Fitted with the 1.5-litre Turbo D diesel engine, the Combo provides a smooth and frugal drive. With clever storage solutions and a spacious load area, it is a solid, reliable option for business users across many sectors.
Simple, dependable, and cost-effective, the Renault Kangoo has been a trusted choice for businesses for many years. Look for models with the dCi diesel engines, which are renowned for their economy and longevity. The Kangoo also offers a comfortable ride and practical interior, making it a smart choice for cost-conscious buyers.
Choosing a fuel-efficient van is just the beginning. Maintaining correct tyre pressures, servicing your van regularly, driving smoothly, and avoiding carrying unnecessary weight all contribute to better fuel economy. Small changes in driving habits can make a big difference over time.
