Vehicles fitted with chevron kits are easier to identify and can help improve road safety for both operators and other motorists. The following sections cover common kit choices and how to fit them correctly.

What Are Citroën Chevron Kits?

Chevron kits are hard-wearing adhesive graphics created for use on vehicle surfaces. They help improve recognition and visibility while allowing a customised appearance.

The materials are manufactured to cope with outdoor conditions and long-term vehicle operation. Most Citroën safety chevron kits use high-visibility red and yellow striping on the back of the vehicle. As a result, motorists can recognise the vehicle more easily both day and night.

What Kits Are Available?

For Berlingo models, dedicated kits fit neatly onto the rear doors and panels.

Dispatch kits are commonly available for standard vehicle versions introduced in 2016 and later.

Relay kits can accommodate several body styles, such as high-roof and Luton conversions. They can help operators meet the recommendations set out in Chapter 8 of the UK Traffic Signs Manual.

Benefits of Using Chevron Kits

Chevron kits provide a clear visibility benefit when light levels are reduced. When vehicles are operating near live traffic at night, highly visible markings can reduce risk. Greater visibility may help lower the likelihood of accidents and improve safety for workers and road users alike.

In addition to safety, vehicle graphics can support marketing efforts. Commercial operators often use vehicle graphics to advertise products and services while travelling. Personalised graphics can make a vehicle stand out from standard factory finishes.

Fitting a Chevron Kit

Start by removing dirt, dust, and residue from the vehicle surface. Removing contaminants reduces the chance of lifting or poor adhesion later.

The decals should then be placed carefully onto the intended area. Using a squeegee during installation helps remove trapped air and smooth the material evenly. A well-applied kit can provide long-lasting performance.

Things to Consider Before Installation

There are several factors to review before fitting a chevron kit. Such graphics are usually intended for commercial and operational vehicles rather than private transport.

Over time, exposure to weather and road conditions can affect the material. Eventually, the graphics may require renewal to maintain appearance and effectiveness. In many cases, replacement at roughly ten-year intervals is recommended to maintain compliance and visibility standards.

Summary

Fitting a Citroën chevron kit can make a vehicle easier to identify in a wide range of conditions. Proper fitting ensures the graphics remain effective for years. Further details on vehicle graphics and adhesive solutions can be found through App Tape.
