Ipswich Wines and Beers has signed-up its very own ‘booze cruiser’ in the shape of a new Mercedes van.
The beverage supplier has bought a Vito 109CDI Compact van from local dealer Orwell Truck and Van.
Managing Director Mike Chaplin plumped for a Mercedes-Benz because of the brand’s reputation for low ‘whole-life’ operating costs compared to other manufacturers’ products.
“The Vito is the right size for our business, and very economical to run,” he declares. “The Mercedes three-pointed star is also a by-word for prestige and quality, and helps to underpin our own corporate image.”
Ipswich Wines and Beers is based at Ransomes Euro Park and supplies fine wines, beers and spirits to public houses, hotels and shops.
Mr Chaplin has equipped the new Vito with optional air-conditioning to make summer journeys more comfortable.
The company runs two other vans by another manufacturer and between them the three vehicles supply to customers within a 30-mile radius of Ipswich.
Stylish, comfortable and car-like to drive, the Vito is the ‘baby’ of the Mercedes commercial vehicle range. It was the International Van of the Year for 2005 and features class-leading safety equipment, including the ground-breaking Adaptive ESP® anti-skid program and anti-lock braking, as standard.
