The PEUGEOT Partner van, Continental Tyres Irish Van of the Year 2020, is Ireland’s best-selling van to date in 2020. Capturing 8.2% share of the critical first quarter market, Partner van sales grew +28.4% year-on-year. PEUGEOT’s total LCV sales grew by +18.1% in the first three months of 2020, driving the lion-brand up to now command 10.7% of the overall LCV market.
Colin Sheridan, Sales and Marketing Director at Gowan Distributors, PEUGEOT Importer in Ireland, said: “Our LCV performance in the first quarter of 2020 has been very strong, we are thrilled to see demand continue to grow for the award-winning Partner, Expert and Boxer vans, as well as the 308 and 3008 car derived vans. Later this year we also look forward to adding the new all-electric e-Expert van and the new e-Boxer to our LCV range”.
Boasting a modern, robust exterior styling, the Partner van is the first light commercial vehicle in the range to receive the acclaimed PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® interior comprising a compact steering wheel and heads up instrument panel.
