Astra wins ACFO Car of the Year award

The Vauxhall Astra has chalked up its fourth fleet awards success of the year by claiming the honor of 2005 Car of the Year from the Association of Car Fleet Operators (ACFO).

The Astra topped its class in this year’s ACFO Fleet Car and Vans of the Year Awards, marking a return to top spot for Vauxhall. The award is seen as clear indication that fleets are downsizing to more fuel efficient, CO 2 -friendly company cars, said ACFO.

The award was voted for by ACFO members who recognized the Astra’s operational performance, whole-life costs and driver appeal.

However, fleet operators did not just vote for the Astra based on ‘green’ and benefit-in-kind issues, but also on a string of other factors fundamental in the fleet vehicle decision-making process.
