Citroën has supplied a fleet of C1 superminis to the airline handling arm of multi-modal transport operator, Go-Ahead Group. A total of 17 C1 Rhythm 1.4HDi models have been acquired by Go-Ahead, to be used as airside vehicles at airports throughout the country. All the vehicles will be branded aviance, the international service network of which Go-Ahead is the UK member.
The new cars will help aviance reduce its carbon footprint, as the exceptionally fuel efficient 1.4HDi-powered Citroën C1, equipped with Gas Exhaust Recirculating (EGR), has an emissions level of just 109g/km CO2, one of the lowest figures of any car in the UK.
The C1 superminis are also small in size, with a compact 9.5m turning circle, making them ideal for crowded airport service areas. Yet they also have a four star Euro NCAP rating and “big” car safety features, including driver and passenger airbags and two lateral airbags. Also all Citroën C1s have ABS, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Cornering Stability Control.
Ten C1s have been allocated to aviance’s Gatwick operation and the remaining seven will go to other handling operations in the UK. The cars will be used by members of aviance’s traffic department, who deliver documentation to aircraft pilots and control ground operations such as passenger boarding and disembarkation.
