Does size really matter? We find out if large vans really are the best for the business.

Here at Best4Vans, our passion is vans. Whether they be small, medium or large, we love providing rock bottom discounts, great service and keeping our loyal customers updated about the latest news, releases and information to help the van buying process as easy as possible.

With the list of new van models which were released into the market last year, the battle for volume in the big-selling sector has definitely gone up a notch. Numbers have increased by more than 20% during this year to 130,883 units. During August this year, even though historically this is a quiet month, numbers have again increased by 14% up to 8452. I think you’ll agree, some exciting stats for 2015 already and the market is continuing to grow.

The trustworthy Ford Transit remains the UK’s most popular large van. However the market is starting to see signs that the position is coming under more pressure since Ford moved to make a more distinct division between the Transit and Transit Custom.

Mercedes-Benz are hot on the heels and is looking to take the top spot with the Sprinter. The Sprinter has now been around for about 20 years and with the new limited edition model due to be released to celebrate the 20th anniversary, this is sure to create healthy competition to claim the top spot in the large van title race. There are a few other models to watch out for, and with increased sales, you never know what could happen at the top. The Iveco Daily, Renault Master, VW Crafter and the Vauxhall Movano are all models to be watched.
