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.

Calls from experts to ban the use of hands-free devices are on the increase.

The implementation of the mobile phone ban in 2007 saw the increase in the number of hands-free devices being used in cars and vans all over the UK.

With experts claiming that the use of hands-free kits causes a detrimental effect to 97.5% of drivers, how long will it be before the ban of these gadgets is implemented, and what affect will such ban have on van drivers and those who rely on modern “on-the-go” communication?

DO NOT Watch Transformers!

The original and still the best!

I wouldn’t usually use this site for my own private end, but I have to advise all readers of Vansdirectnews.com and all the customers of Vansdirect.co.uk not to watch the new Transformers movie.  If you value your time, sanity, humour and money - do not go.  It’s not suitable for children and it’s certainly not suitable for an adult with a reasonable level of intelligence.

The autumn will see the launch of the Nissan NV200 panel van across Europe.  Whilst it’s somewhat different to the concept van our sister site, www.vansdirectnews.com, reported on October last year (click here for article), the design is sleek and a new take on the Nissan brand.

Unlike the current Nissan van range, the NV200 is not merely a rebadged Renault.  Indeed, the Nissan NV200 will be exclusive to the Nissan brand.

When launched, the NV200 will go up against the likes of the Citroën Dispatch and Peugeot Expert.  It’s sure to win on aesthetics alone.
