Vauxhall continued its run at the top of the electric van sales charts in September, with the Vivaro Electric achieving more registrations than any of its rivals, according to figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

The electric-powered van outsold all other eLCV models in September and continues to lead the year overall. The smaller Vauxhall Combo Electric followed closely behind for the month, ending up as the second best-selling eLCV. The success of both models as private and fleet vehicles means that almost one in three eLCVs registered in September was a Vauxhall, helping the brand maintain its position as the UK’s best-selling eLCV manufacturer.

“The Vivaro Electric continues to be the electric van of choice for UK businesses, with the Combo Electric following closely behind,” explained James Taylor, managing director at Vauxhall. “As of September, Combo Electric is proudly being produced at our Ellesmere Port facility, which is the UK’s first electric-only plant. Combined with the just-announced Stellantis e-LCV Grant, the superb reception and uptake of our electric LCVs proves that van drivers can reap the benefits of electrification.”

The Stellantis eLCV Grant offers customers a £2,500 incentive on small and medium electric vans, including the Vauxhall Combo Electric and Vauxhall Vivaro Electric.
