In total, Visioncall will take delivery of 80 Auris company cars over the next three years under a deal with Arval, with the first vehicles having already been handed over.

The Auris, all Active grade models powered by a 1.4 D-4D diesel engine, are supplied by the SDM Toyota Centre in Falkirk.

Brian McGuire, Visioncall Group managing director, said: ‘It's essential that our visiting opticians have transport that is right for the job and that can be relied on. It is also a priority that our vehicle fleet is cost-efficient to operate.

‘We were impressed by Auris, it meets our requirements in terms of design, quality and performance. The data presented to us by SDM on running costs and the contract hire leasing rates from Arval were very competitive, making the Toyota the best all-round proposition for our fleet.’
