BARRON MCCANN EXPANDS FLEET WITH PEUGEOT 3008 AND 308 SW MODELS

IT services specialist provider Barron McCann has taken delivery of a fleet of Peugeot cars, initially totalling 80 cars made up of both 308SW and 3008 models, that will be used across the company’s UK business.

All models are powered by the Euro 6.2-compliant BlueHDi 130 low-emission diesel featuring Selective Catalytic Reduction technology to ensure the lowest possible emissions. The 308 SW models all feature Allure specification with a mix of six-speed manual and six-speed EAT6 automatic transmission.

Richard Johnson, Leader – Procurement & Supply Chain said; “Our customers expect and deserve the very highest service levels and a modern, well-maintained vehicle fleet plays a key role in delivering that performance.

Each vehicle is equipped with technology which helps us to reduce travelling time and distance, provides driving efficiency recommendations, and minimises emissions when queueing in busy areas.

In addition, we have specified driver aids such as blind spot assistance, proximity sensors front and back, reversing cameras, and drivetime indicators, all with the intent of improving the driving experience of our engineers.

We are happy to be fleet partners once again with Peugeot.”

Standard 308 equipment includes air conditioning, electric and heated door mirrors, multi-function trip computer, Peugeot i-Cockpit®, remote central locking, “Magic Flat” 60/40 folding rear seats, DAB radio, USB socket and Bluetooth® connectivity. Allure specification adds an alarm, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, front and rear parking sensors, Mirror Screen® with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto, Connected 3D navigation, electric folding door mirrors, aluminium roof bars and 17” alloy wheels.

All 3008 models feature EAT8 eight-speed automatic transmission and have been supplied with a mix of Allure and GT Line specification. Equipment includes a range of driver assistance systems, including Peugeot Connect SOS and Assistance, Active Blind Spot Detection and Peugeot Smartbeam Assistance. Other features includes a colour reversing camera, Connected 3D Navigation and 18” alloy wheels. GT Line models also include a smartphone charging plate and full LED headlights among other equipment. The latest additions to the 3008 model range are the 3008 SUV HYBRID and 3008 SUV GT HYBRID4. Both are available to order now and add two new hybrid models to the 3008 line-up, in addition to the 508 HYBRID and 508 SW HYBRID. The new hybrids demonstrate the next phase in PEUGEOT’s commitment to launch electrified versions of all models by 2023.

“The 308 SW has proved to be a popular choice for many fleets, providing flexible accommodation, driver appeal and low cost of ownership with low emissions”, comments Martin Gurney, Fleet Director at Peugeot, Citroen and DS Automobiles, “Not surprisingly, we think that Barron McCann has made an excellent choice and together with the 3008 models present a modern, stylish fleet that will enhance the company’s image.”
