New Conversion Vans For Sale

What Is a New Conversion Van?

A conversion van is a van that is custom-built or adapted to serve a specific function beyond that of a standard panel or Luton van. This could include a curtainside body, dropside, mobile workshop, or bespoke shelving and racking fitted to the interior.

At Vansdirect, our conversion vans can be fully finished to your specification or come as a cab or chassis base from which to create your own tailored set-up that meets the demands of your trade, industry or business model.

From couriers to construction firms, engineers to mobile service providers, a converted van lets you take your bespoke workspace and cargo wherever the job takes you.

What Are the Benefits of a New Conversion Van?

A new van conversion gives you more flexibility, better use of space and a purpose-built solution to suit your daily operations.

Benefits include:

• A cargo layout tailored to your trade or industry
• Greater storage efficiency with built-in racking and compartments
• Branding opportunities with custom livery and finishes

What Businesses Are Conversion Vans Suitable For?

Van conversions are ideal for a wide range of industries. Whether you're transporting tools or turning your van into a fully mobile unit specific to your business needs, there's a configuration to suit your workflow.

Ideal for:

• Construction & trades (plumbing, electrical, carpentry)
• Logistics and delivery services
• Mobile services (cleaning, mechanics, catering)
• Events and exhibition setups
• Utility companies and site work
• Plant hire or tool distribution

Conversions like curtainsides allow easy side access for bulky or palletised goods - while internal shelving and secure compartments are perfect for equipment-heavy trades.

Dropside and tipper vans are popular in the construction industry with hinged tailboards and sideboards which can be dropped down below the load bed for easier access.

Mobile workshops offer versatility on the move by being specially fitted out to accommodate equipment and tools needed to conduct your business efficiently. Mobile workshops are typically used by mobile mechanics, plant fitters and maintenance engineers.

Are New Conversion Vans Fuel Efficient?

Many of today's conversion vans are built on economical, low-emission diesel engines, ensuring performance without excessive fuel use.

At Vansdirect, models like the Peugeot Boxer Curtainside and Citroen Relay Dropside offer up to 21mpg, depending on the specification.

Alternatively, an increasing number of electric conversion vans are becoming available, including the Ford E-Transit Chassis Cab and the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter Curtainside.

Tips to Improve Fuel Efficiency:

• Keep tyres inflated to the correct pressure
• Regularly service filters, spark plugs, and oil
• Avoid carrying unnecessary weight
