Red Van Shortage
Everyone has heard of the white van man, but how about a red van man? Well because of the credit crunch, these could soon die out because of the European wide shortage of red vans.
The credit crunch is the reason for the lack of coloured vans. Because money is tight and the sales of vans is on the decrease, the amount of coloured vans being produced has been reduced. More classical colours like white are being produced instead, this means that companies that rely on coloured van might have to change to more traditional colours like white.
It seems like a strange situation, manufacturers are making less white vans because of the credit crunch, but the coloured vans are the ones that companies are after buying.
If some companies end up having to change the colour of their vans, it may be for the greater good because they may end up buying a safer colour van. This may sound strange but there have been studies carried out that show that white vehicles are the safest and are in the least amount of accidents. A number of studies have been undertaken into the colour of cars, one being a study that looked at cars in lighting storms and it found that a white car was less likely to be struck by lightning. Another study showed that a white fire engine was less likely yo be involved in an accident than a red one.
An idea would be to try and claim a reduction in car insurance for a white car because it’s less likely to be in an accident according to the RAC.
If you are a business that requires specific colour vans, maybe you should consider van leasing? There are a huge number of different vans available for lease all in different colours, from minibus leasing to tipper van leasing, there are vans for every purpose and every requirement.
