Commenting on the pending arrival, Des Cannon, Managing Director at Gowan Distributors, Peugeot Importers in Ireland said: “The Peugeot brand has demonstrated proven expertise in van production for decades. Last year, the PSA Group dominated the highly competitive compact van segment, commanding more than 30% of the European market and the Peugeot Partner was the best-selling van. This year, our performance in the Irish market has excelled, culminating in Peugeot recording the highest volume in sales growth across all brands.
