Mini Clubvan to debut in Europe

Small van-like vehicles with two seats up front, a partition behind the cockpit and a flat load floor in the back are popular in Europe, for small businesses and what not. It seems Mini wants in on the action, converting the slow-selling Clubman into a car for the working man. And they’ve cleverly named it the Clubvan.

Set to debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March, the Clubvan still retains the three-door system of the Clubman. But it remains at the concept stage for now, as the market for an expensive little van that can carry only a couple of boxes is bound to be limited. In any case, it won’t come to the UAE even if it did enter production.
