Vauxhall's new portfolio of vans is delivering the goods for the manufacturer's commercial vehicle division. A spokesman said a 30 per cent sales hike in November means that the company has already crossed its 30,000 sales target for the first time.

Says Ian Hucker, Vauxhall's national van sales manager: “We have revamped our entire vans range in the last 18 months with new Corsa, new Combo, Vivaro and improvements to Movano. Just as we knew it would, our strategy is paying off handsomely."

Total Vauxhall van registrations in November of 3,465 have contributed to an 11-month total of 30,183 – pushing up market share to 12.2 per cent. Rival Ford's share dropped more than 4 per cent.
