Vauxhall vans overview

Vauxhall is more famous for its vans than you might think. Back when Vauxhall’s vans were still badged as Bedfords, the company invented the ‘Luton Top’ van — a van with a high, box-like body for hauling taller items. Scroll on to the 1990s, and it’s widely accepted that the fastest car in the world was a Vauxhall Astramax diesel van, being driven by a plumber in a hurry…

So just as with its passenger cars, Vauxhall’s (and Bedford’s) vans have been a critical part of UK PLC down through the years, and that’s a tradition that carries on today, with the current Vauxhall van lineup of the compact Combo cargo, the mid-sized Vivaro, and the big Movano.
