Trio of awards for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles!

The Volkswagen Transporter 6.1 and Crafter both crowned winners at the Trade Van Driver Awards

Both vans were praised for reliability and value-for-money, with Volkswagen City Emergency Braking taking home Best Technical Innovation

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has won three titles at the 2021 Trade Van Driver Awards, with the Transporter 6.1 being praised for its reliability, technology and unbeatable residual value taking Van of the Year title. The Volkswagen Crafter was honoured at the awards as the Best Large Van in 2021, coming out on top for comfort, outstanding value and overall performance.

The award-winning brand were also praised with Best Technical Innovation for its groundbreaking City Emergency Braking system, becoming the first to fit autonomous emergency braking systems back in 2017. Still today they remain the only OEM to do so, making it the standout manufacturer in this category.

Breeze Motor Company Ltd, Breeze (Southampton) Ltd and Breeze Motorcycles Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Breeze Motor Company Ltd, Breeze (Southampton) Ltd and Breeze Motorcycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
