Industry News from Yes Insurance

Van insurance customers may be tempted to trade in their current model for a Volkswagen vehicle after hearing about the manufacturer's performance at a recent awards ceremony.

The company scooped two honours at the What Van? Vans of the Year Awards 2008.

The Caddy was highly commended in the Light Van category and the Caddy Maxi was named Editor's Choice.

The former model offers 3.2 cubed metres of loadspace along with a payload of up to 724 kg.

Prices for the vehicle start at £10,750.

Meanwhile, the Caddy Maxi - which was released earlier this year - provides 4.3 cubed metres loadspace and a payload of up to 800 kg.

An entry-level version of this model can be bought for £12,650.

Speaking on behalf of the victorious manufacturer, Simon Elliott said: "We're delighted that two more Volkswagen Vans have received award recognition."

He stated: "This is good news for us, our customers and our Van Centres."

Meanwhile, Volkswagen unveiled its second generation Golf Plus at the Bologna Motor Show earlier this month.
