Choice is a blessing, but too much can quickly turn into a curse. It is a curse that van fleet managers need to break, however, if they are to optimise their van selections, because manufacturers today offer a bewildering array of variants. There are 8,000 factory-built versions of the latest lveco Daily alone. Turning that choice to your advantage pays dividends. It may, for example, prompt purchasers to conclude that the big-capacity 5.0m~3 versions of Vauxhall's Combo and Fiat's Doblo Cargo make more sense than a fully-fledged panel van. Though a perfectly valid choice if you need more cargo space and payload capacity than Combo/Doblo Cargo can offer, the panel van is likely to be more expensive and thirstier - and might well be under-utilised.
