Why should you read the 6- to 7-tonne GVW vans buyers' guide?

7.5-tonne GVW trucks accounted for 28% of all new trucks over 3.5 tonnes GVW registered in the UK in 2000. That proportion had dwindled to just 12% by 2011. It seems that we have fallen out of love with 7.5-tonners. The removal of the ‘grandfather’s rights’ of car drivers who passed their driving test before 1997 has steadily whittled away the number of people able to drive 7.5-tonners without acquiring an LGV licence. These little trucks suffered another body blow a few years ago when new speed limiter legislation cut their maximum speed to 90km/h (56mph) and forced them out of the third lane of motorways.
