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?

These kits are made from robust vinyl materials intended for long-term vehicle use. Their purpose may be decorative, practical, or safety-related depending on the vehicle’s use.

Built to withstand weather exposure and everyday wear, these large decals remain effective for years when fitted correctly. Most Citroën safety chevron kits use high-visibility red and yellow striping on the back of the vehicle. This makes the vehicle easier to spot during daylight hours and in low-light conditions.

What Kits Are Available?

Berlingo kits are produced to match the dimensions of the vehicle’s rear section.

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

Different Relay configurations, including taller and Luton-bodied models, can be fitted with dedicated chevron kits. They can help operators meet the recommendations set out in Chapter 8 of the UK Traffic Signs Manual.

Why Use Chevron Kits?

Their most important benefit is helping vehicles remain noticeable in dim or challenging conditions. When vehicles are operating near live traffic at night, highly visible markings can reduce risk. This added visibility supports safer working conditions and greater awareness among motorists.

In addition to safety, vehicle graphics can support marketing efforts. Businesses can display company names, logos, contact details, or campaign information on their vehicles. Private owners may also choose bespoke designs to give a vehicle a more individual appearance.

Fitting a Chevron Kit

The first step is to prepare the application area by cleaning it carefully. A clean surface improves adhesion and helps achieve a better finish.

The decals should then be placed carefully onto the intended area. A squeegee is useful for eliminating air pockets and achieving a flat finish. 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.

Over time, exposure to weather and road conditions can affect the material. Eventually, the graphics may require renewal to maintain appearance and effectiveness. Regular inspection and timely replacement can help preserve their effectiveness.

Final Thoughts

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. For additional information on chevron kits and other vehicle adhesive products, visit the App Tape website.
