Vehicles fitted with chevron kits are easier to identify and can help improve road safety for both operators and other motorists. This guide outlines the types of kits available and explains how they can be applied for a neat, professional-looking finish.

Understanding 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.

The materials are manufactured to cope with outdoor conditions and long-term vehicle operation. Most Citroën safety chevron kits use high-visibility red and yellow striping on the back of the vehicle. As a result, motorists can recognise the vehicle more easily both day and night.

What Kits Are Available?

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.

Different Relay configurations, including taller and Luton-bodied models, can be fitted with dedicated chevron kits. These markings support visibility standards for roadside vehicles.

Benefits of Using 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. This added visibility supports safer working conditions and greater awareness among motorists.

In addition to safety, vehicle graphics can support marketing efforts. A vehicle can feature branding, contact information, or promotional messaging. Private owners may also choose bespoke designs to give a vehicle a more individual appearance.

Applying a Chevron Kit

The first step is to prepare the application area by cleaning it carefully. Removing contaminants reduces the chance of lifting or poor adhesion later.

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. When fitted correctly, the graphics can remain effective for many years before replacement is required.

Things to Consider Before Installation

There are several factors to review before fitting a chevron kit. 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. In many cases, replacement at roughly ten-year intervals is recommended to maintain compliance and visibility standards.

Summary

Citroën chevron kits provide a practical way to improve vehicle visibility and support roadside safety. 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.
