The digital-first method saves the companies money by avoiding movement costs and ensures the largest possible active buyer audience, highest sales value and optimum speed of sale, according to Manheim.

Manheim will collect the vans and take them to a dedicated CV auction centre, before valeting, inspecting, photographing and removing all branding within 24 hours. All vans will be photographed used 360 degree turntables, enabling buyers to get a full and accurate overview of the vehicle’s condition.

The vans will be priced using the latest market intelligence before being uploaded online. Each Zenith van will also carry Manheim SureCheck, a 41 point mechanical check giving buyers a seven-day assurance period.

Peter Bell, managing director of Manheim, said: “We have had a successful partnership with Zenith since 2017, and I am delighted that we will continue working together for a further two years.
