Chevron kits help vehicles stand out and contribute to safer driving conditions for everyone using the road network. Below, we look at suitable kit options and the steps required for a tidy installation.

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.

Built to withstand weather exposure and everyday wear, these large decals remain effective for years when fitted correctly. For commercial vehicles working near roads, the kit usually includes red and yellow rear-facing chevrons. The enhanced visibility assists approaching drivers in identifying the vehicle sooner.

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.

Citroën Relay chevron kits are available for a variety of panel configurations, including high-roof and Luton-style variants. 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. For example, a van parked beside a motorway during overnight maintenance work can be identified more easily by approaching drivers. This added visibility supports safer working conditions and greater awareness among motorists.

Beyond visibility, these kits can contribute to brand awareness. Businesses can display company names, logos, contact details, or campaign information on their vehicles. Custom designs are another option for those seeking a distinctive look.

Applying 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. Working with a squeegee can help prevent bubbles and wrinkles beneath the vinyl. A well-applied kit can provide long-lasting performance.

Important Considerations

A few practical considerations should be assessed before installation. Chevron patterns are most commonly found on vehicles used for work-related roadside duties.

Although highly durable, chevron kits do not last indefinitely. Peeling, fading, or wear may occur after extended use, making replacement necessary. Regular inspection and timely replacement can help preserve their effectiveness.

Final Thoughts

Citroën chevron kits provide a practical way to improve vehicle visibility and support roadside safety. Proper fitting ensures the graphics remain effective for years. Further details on vehicle graphics and adhesive solutions can be found through App Tape.
