Cummins who are best known for producing large capacity diesels, has responded to the concerns of van makers by producing and launching a range of light turbochargers designed for 2 – 5 litre van engines.
The current turbos have been slated by van manufacturers for not being durable enough for the job they are intended.
Cummins, who have 10 years experience in this field, have responded by looking into the design and the performance required by vans, and producing what they feel is an all-round better model.
With the World focussing on a “Greener Future”, the motor industry is set to see an influx of electric cars and electric vans.
All Manufacturers are hard at work on their version of a greener more eco-friendly motor, that will revolutionise motoring as we now know it. Many are currently working on an eco friendly car as opposed to a van, but all end products are currently proving to have an expensive initial outlay, but with long term financial benefits.
Whilst at Vansdirect News we do not recommend or condone behaviour of the below nature, we do however acknowledge that there are a few creative people who will go to any extent to get rid of their old van that has quickly become more of a burden more than a reliable work horse!
We do have to warn you not to recreate this video in your own back garden or indeed at your local supermarket, but we do ask that you enjoy this video in the nature that it is intended!

Sheffield-based Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions (BBUS) have acquired an incredible 700 Mercedes-Benz Sprinters through local van dealer Northside Truck & Van. The order consists primarily of the 313CDI 3.5 tonne vans but BBUS has also requested a number of Mercedes chassis cab vans to complete their van fleet.
BBUS has asked for all the Mercedes vans to be fitted with passenger airbags in addition to the standard driver airbags. The Mercedes vans will also be fitted with seat belt warning alarms for the van drivers. All of the 700 vans ordered comply with Euro 5 exhaust emissions.
According to What Van? “If Dr Who drove a van, he’d probably drive Nissan’s new NV200. That’s because, like the TARDIS, it’s a lot bigger inside than it looks from the outside.” So impressed were they that they named it Light Van and Van of the Year 2010!
We should point out that unlike the TARDIS, the NV200 goes where you point it, it doesn’t resemble a blue telephone box and you needn’t where a copious amount of tweed nor a scarf to drive one.
Once again the Vansdirect office has been casting their eyes over the phenomenon that is the You Tube. And once again a gem of a van related video has been found starring the talents of Buster Keaton. Without researching the video fully, we can only conclude that it’s an advert for Ford’s first medium or long wheel base van - the underpinning of the now famous Ford Transit. Even if you’re not a fan of the Ford Transit van or Buster Keaton, it’s still worth watching this van video for the sheer delight of watching a lion drive a Ford van!
If you’re looking for cheap new vans to buy, there’s never been a better site than www.vansdirect.co.uk - the home of the UK’s largest independent van retailer and quite simply the best place to find cheap vans for sale on the internet. Now www.vansdirect.co.uk has had a minor face lift for the 09 plate season.
Gone are the two square welcome panels. Replaced by artwork panels clearly advertising Vansdirect’s best UK van deals. The artwork panels are commensurate with the emails sent by Vansdirect.co.uk and will therefore make navigation of the site that little bit easier.
Simple but effective. What more do you need to know about the new Citroen Berlingo that this commercial doesn’t deliver? Vansdirect.co.uk sells loads of these cheap vans - hardly surprising given the features that the Citroen Berlingo comes with as standard. In fact, the entire Citroen van range comes stacked with features you wouldn’t normally associated with cheap vans for sale in the UK.
But enough from me. Sit back and watch the simple Citroen van advert for yourself.
