The six new Volkswagen Transporter vans have been specially selected for their superior flexibility and mobility, allowing Spaciotempo's in-house installation team to provide an even faster, more responsive service to customers throughout the UK.
Powered by TDI diesel engines the vehicles are both economical and efficient to run, making them a sound investment for the company whilst also allowing customers to continue reaping the benefits of its cost-effective solutions.
Carrying necessary equipment such as tools, accessories and consumables, the vans will enable work on a project to be started immediately and delivered on, if not before, the deadline.
