As a Gas Engineer you need a tough van that can carry a large number of tools and plenty of equipment. Whether you are a self-employed tradesman with one van, a small business with a couple of vans or a large company with a large fleet of vans reliability and affordability are the two top requirements. Crusader Vans has been the foremost Van Leasing Broker in the UK since 2004 and understands vans better than anyone else and has asked “what is the best van for gas engineers?”
Vauxhall Vivaro
The Vauxhall Vivaro is a firm favourite with Crusader Vans. Built on the same platform as the Peugeot Expert, Citroen Dispatch, Fat Scudo and Toyota Proace the van has a boxy load space. Added to the bulky load space, the two-stage load-through feature means you can load pipes all the way through to the passenger footwell. Super-Affordable and nearly always in stock at Crusader, a Vauxhall Vivaro can be delivered quickly without breaking the bank.
Ford Transit Custom
A full Ford Transit would be an overkill for gas engineer, but the Ford Transit Custom is a superb van for the job. The Ford Transit Custom is an almost iconic Van on the Uk roads and for good reason. The van is tough and reliable, its engines are superbly fuel-efficient, and the right model can carry pipes up to 3 metres in length. Pricier than the Vivaro, the Ford Transit Custom is a strong contender for the best van for a gas engineer.
Renault Trafic
The Renault Trafic remains one of the most popular medium vans in the UK. For a gas engineer, the Renault Trafic ticks all the boxes: Space, length, comfort, price and reliability. A very affordable van for its size, the Trafic is the perfect balance comfort and practicality. As with the Vivaro, Crusader Vans often carries these vans in stock and can deliver them quickly.
Other Vans to Lease
Over and above the three vans mentioned above there are other options. The VW Transporter and Mercedes Sprinter are superb German options. The vans are more difficult to source, have a slightly higher price tag and you may a long wait. These German vans do, however, hold their value well and are extremely reliable but overall, the choice is up to you.
