A NEW online tool from cap hpi can take the time and complexity out of shortlisting and comparing light commercial vehicles based on the exact needs of the end user.

LCV Chooser has been launched to help simplify the process and allows users to understand the key differences in specification across all brands utilising cap hpi’s comprehensive datasets.

The digital tool has been developed to enable users to search quickly and efficiently and compare technical and specification data against every current LCV available on the market.

Although designed as a standalone tool, it may be integrated within existing fleet management systems.

In addition to inputting the basic requirements like vehicle type, seating capacity, weights and dimensions, LCV Chooser allows searche criteria to be narrowed down.

Variables include power output, key standard equipment and EURO emissions. Results are returned quickly, saving valuable time. VAT and VED information is also displayed.

Steve Botfield, commercial vehicle expert at cap hpi said: “Choosing the right LCV is not a simple task, with over 7000 derivatives from 27 manufacturers to select from.

“The most important consideration in picking a vehicle is that it is fit for purpose, for both today but also the future if the business’s needs plan to change.

“One other key area to consider is the duty of care to employees, with organisations needing to ensure that the environment that the driver works in is adequate for length of time they are behind the wheel.

“Items such as air conditioning, telephone connectivity, as well as the other driver aids which have become more prevalent in modern working vehicles to provide that ideal work space.”

Future features of LCV Chooser will incorporate more detailed total cost of ownership (TCO) comparisons and an options configurator.
