VAUXHALL MOTORS ‘CARRIES
BRITISH BUSINESS’ WITH NEW
COMBO CARGO CAMPAIGN
Vauxhall Motors has launched a
new through-the-line campaign
for its new Combo Cargo, the van
that ‘Carries British Business.’
Vauxhall is proud to
build the vans that make
this country great. Inno-
vative, hard-working and
entrepreneurial, these
vehicles have more than a
little in common with the
people who drive them. The
campaign, led by a new TV
commercial, talks directly to
this audience, setting out a
simple, powerful message.
This is the van that ‘Carries
British Business’.
The campaign has seen
a targeted three tiered ap-
proach adopted by Vauxhall.
Meaning that with this cam-
paign, Vauxhall are talking
to every corner of Britain.
Vauxhall has extended the
campaign with extra activ-
ity in social media which
enables us to show the
huge influence of the New
Combo Cargo. To champion
teamwork and celebrate the
underdog.
The Combo Cargo van
is based on an all-new
architecture and is offered
in a selection of variants,
including short wheelbase,
long wheelbase and crew
van. In crew van body style,
up to five occupants can
be accommodated, while
the load is safely stowed
behind a partition wall. In
addition, the rear bench can
be folded down and the
partition moved behind the
front seats, if required. The
Combo Cargo is also clean
and cheap to run with low
CO2 emissions from 109g/
km and fuel economy up to
67.3mpg.
Operators can be sure
that the vehicle is not
overloaded by pressing the
sensor-based overload indi-
cator (optional). A range of
innovative technologies and
driver assistance systems
make driving and manoeu-
vring easier, including the
optional Rear View Camera
and IntelliGrip traction
control system. The new
generation of infotainment
system with an eight-inch
colour touchscreen, Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto
ensures outstanding on-
board connectivity.
Clean your plate before every journey and avoid a £1000 fine
ROAD SAFETY and break-
down organisation GEM Motoring
Assist is urging drivers to ensure
they have clean number plates on
all their road journeys. They risk a
fine of up to £1000 if their number
having a clear, legible
‘ number
plate is vital ’
plate is dirty and can’t be read
easily.
GEM road safety officer Neil
Worth says having a clear, legible
number plate is vital. “A number
plate must be readable and not
covered by dirt,” he explains. “This
is to ensure a vehicle can be iden-
tified as and when required.
“At this time of year, it’s easy for
a number plate to get so dirty that
it cannot be read. This is usually
caused by muck on damp road
surfaces that ends up on the rear
of a car.
“Although there is no law
against having a dirty car, the law
is very clear when it comes to
keeping your number plates clear;
you risk a £1000 fine if you allow
it to become obscured.”
GEM is encouraging drivers to
‘clean their plate’ before every
journey to ensure they comply
with the law and steer clear of a
substantial fine.
