Schaeffler has put the focus on LCVs by highlighting the wide range of parts it offers for the popular second-generation version of the Mercedes-Benz Vito van in a recent REPXPERT e-shot.

The growth in home delivery services continues to increase the number of LCVs on our roads. One popular example is the Mercedes-Benz Vito Series 2 (W639), manufactured for the European market between 2003 and 2014 before being superseded. The vehicle is still a very common sight in a wide variety of guises, including box van, minibus, and camper van variants. It is also often employed as a taxi, with one version approved as a licensed London black cab. 

Parts offered by the motion technology company for the most popular CDI variant include several LuK RepSet clutch kits and DMFs, INA FEAD kits and FAG wheel bearings and steering and suspension components.

“As van numbers increase, LCV repair and maintenance is an increasingly important revenue stream for independent garages,” said Matt Selby, Sales and Marketing Director at Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions UK Ltd. He adds, “Many businesses rely on their vans,” said Matt, “and the Vito remains a popular model. This is why Schaeffler offers a wide range of OE quality tailored repair solutions for simple, fast repairs and short downtimes.”
