Vehicles fitted with chevron kits are easier to identify and can help improve road safety for both operators and other motorists. Below, we look at suitable kit options and the steps required for a tidy installation.

What Are Citroën Chevron Kits?

A chevron kit consists of durable vinyl graphics designed for vehicle application. They help improve recognition and visibility while allowing a customised appearance.

Designed for durability, the graphics resist rain, sunlight, and regular road use over extended periods. A Citroën chevron kit typically features alternating red and yellow markings applied to the rear of vans operating in roadside, utility, or highway environments. The enhanced visibility assists approaching drivers in identifying the vehicle sooner.

Types of Citroën Chevron Kits

Citroën Berlingo chevron kits are designed for rear doors and body panels, providing a tailored fit.

Citroën Dispatch chevron kits are manufactured to suit standard models produced from 2016 onwards.

Relay kits can accommodate several body styles, such as high-roof and Luton conversions. These markings support visibility standards for roadside vehicles.

Advantages of 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. Clear markings assist drivers in spotting stationary or slow-moving vehicles sooner.

Beyond visibility, these kits can contribute to brand awareness. Commercial operators often use vehicle graphics to advertise products and services while travelling. Custom designs are another option for those seeking a distinctive look.

How to Apply a Chevron Kit

Before installation, thoroughly clean the surface where the graphics will be applied. Removing contaminants reduces the chance of lifting or poor adhesion later.

After cleaning, align the graphics accurately before securing them in place. Using a squeegee during installation helps remove trapped air and smooth the material evenly. A well-applied kit can provide long-lasting performance.

Points to Consider

Before applying a kit, it is worth checking whether it suits the vehicle’s intended use. Chevron patterns are most commonly found on vehicles used for work-related roadside duties.

Although highly durable, chevron kits do not last indefinitely. 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

These kits offer a straightforward method of increasing rear visibility for commercial vehicles. When installed correctly, they can deliver a professional appearance and long-term performance. Further details on vehicle graphics and adhesive solutions can be found through App Tape.
