Van of the Year 2002 Awards

 

 


Here are the winners of the
What Van? Van of the Year Awards 2002

A big welcome to Vans of the Year 2002, What Van?'s annual verdict on what the manufacturers have to offer. Every year we sort the best from the rest and pick out the top light commercials on the market today. After all, choosing the right van for the job is vital for the success and smooth running of any big or small business.

The category winners were decided upon after extensive testing by the What Van? staff. At one time or another we've driven every light commercial vehicle on the British market, assessing them for driveability, comfort, performance, handling, refinement, safety, load area, economy and value for money.

The 2002 Awards are split into 15 categories - we've added Best 'Green' Van and Best Manufacturer Web Site to the line-up - and out of all the section winners, we select our overall supremo; the Van of the Year.

The two Security Awards were decided upon in conjunction with the MIRCC at Thatcham and this year we have also included five 'fleet-based' awards for the first time. These were decided upon by our sister magazine What Van? Fleet. Congratulations to all the winners and keep up the good work.
