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 Is a Citroën Chevron Kit?

A chevron kit consists of durable vinyl graphics designed for vehicle application. They can be used to personalise a vehicle’s appearance or increase its visibility to other road users.

Designed for durability, the graphics resist rain, sunlight, and regular road use over extended periods. For commercial vehicles working near roads, the kit usually includes red and yellow rear-facing chevrons. This makes the vehicle easier to spot during daylight hours and in low-light conditions.

Types of Citroën Chevron Kits

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

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. Their purpose is to improve rear visibility and assist with compliance requirements.

Advantages of Chevron Kits

Their most important benefit is helping vehicles remain noticeable in dim or challenging conditions. 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. Commercial operators often use vehicle graphics to advertise products and services while travelling. Private owners may also choose bespoke designs to give a vehicle a more individual appearance.

How to Apply a Chevron Kit

Before installation, thoroughly clean the surface where the graphics will be applied. A clean surface improves adhesion and helps achieve a better finish.

Once prepared, position the kit carefully and apply it using the adhesive side against the vehicle. 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

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. Periodic replacement helps ensure the markings remain clear and visible. Keeping the graphics in good condition supports ongoing adherence to safety expectations.

Final Thoughts

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. Those seeking more information about vehicle safety markings can refer to the App Tape website.
