VanUser has changed – to better reflect the exciting and challenging times for the light commercial vehicle sector. Launched in April 2021, the new VanUser embraces the transition to alternative fuels with a substantial part of the magazine devoted to petrol/diesel alternatives. We review the vehicles, explore the infrastructure and report on the opportunities of this new technology while retaining all our regular features.
We are also increasing our readership in the sector where we have always been strongest – SMEs with small- to medium-sized fleets. Readers have access to the magazine – digitally and in print – free of charge, providing their LCV fleet numbers at least five vans.
It’s a sector hungry for information, aware of the fine balance between cost, efficiency and duty of care. For many SMEs, fleet management often falls to non-specialists. VanUser delivers the broad range of information that they need to support them in that role.
The new VanUser provides a unique platform to reach this important sector. As well as traditional print advertising, we now offer a range of other promotional and branding opportunities – call us to find out more.
