Van leasing manufacturer Volkswagen is celebrating a good start to 2010 thanks to improved sales and three award wins.
The company has reported an 2.4 per cent increase in market share to the end of April compared to the same period last year.
With almost as many vans sold this March alone than the whole of the first quarter last year, Volkswagen now has 10.4 per cent of the van market.
In addition, the new Volkswagen Transporter won Best Medium Van in the Van Fleet World 2010 Honours and the Standard Panel Van category winner in the iVan Awards 2010.
Meanwhile, the Volkswagen Crafter was awarded the title of Best Large Van in the Van Fleet World 2010 Honours.
Simon Elliott, director of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: "We are really pleased that the new Transporter is already proving to be so highly valued by both the fleet experts judging these awards, and our customers – and for the Crafter to win Best Large Van for the fourth year running proves that it's hard to beat."
Other popular Volkswagen vans include the Caddy and the California Campervan.
