New Combo sits below its larger stablemates, the Vivaro (up to 2.9 tonnes) and the Movano (up to 4.5 tonnes). Also available are the car-derived Corsavan and Astravan which complete Vauxhall's commercial vehicle offering.

Vauxhall has sold the Combo since 1983. The second generation Combo, which was launched in 2001, won numerous industry awards including the International Van of the Year thanks to its practicality, quality and economy.

Combo has been very successful in the ÚK market, selling 21,000 at its peak in 2003. Even during the final phase of its lifecycle, it was second in its segment in the ÚK, selling over 10,000 last year alone. All-time European sales approach the 200,000 mark.

Available in two wheelbases, two heights, two gross vehicle weights (2,000kg and 2,300kg), two trim levels and with four engine choices, Combo boasts the highest payload (up to 1,000kg with driver), large load volume (up to 4.2m3), highest rear axle capacity (1,450kg) and longest wheelbase in its sector. Prices start at £14,703.33 on the road (excluding VAT) for the L1H1 2000 1.3CDTi 16v (90PS) model.

The ÚK is GM Europe's biggest commercial vehicle market with sales more than doubling that of the next biggest country. Last year Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles was number one at retail in the ÚK, selling an impressive 11,436 vehicles to small businesses. Vauxhall has sold over 400,000 vans in the ÚK since 2001.

The ÚK also remains a strong manufacturing base for Vauxhall, with the Luton manufacturer building more vans in Britain than anyone else. Vauxhall's Luton plant recently celebrated a decade of Vivaro production. Last year the plant won the contract to build the next generation Vivaro, securing local jobs for the next decade. The Astravan is built at Vauxhall's facility at Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.
