Since 1999, more than one million customers throughout Europe have selected an Opel/Vauxhall van – more than 200,000 for an Agila and more than 820,000 for a Zafira.

Opel/Vauxhall offers one of the widest ranges of vehicles in the growing market for innovative vans. In addition to the Agila microvan and the seven-seater Zafira, the spacious Combo Tour entered the market in September 2002.

Next spring the Meriva, will open up a new dimension in the compact class. The Meriva is a five-seat minivan with the FlexSpace seating concept that can convert to a spacious four-seater without removing any seats.

"We expect the European market for vans in a Meriva format to grow to over 500,000 units per year by 2005", explains Carl-Peter Forster, Chairman and Managing Director of Adam Opel AG. "The Meriva will secure a good part of this and repeat the resounding success of the Zafira."
