Speed Limiters for Vauxhall Vans: Movano, Vivaro and Combo

Vauxhall is one of the most familiar names in UK commercial vehicles. The Movano, Vivaro, and Combo cover the full van spectrum from compact urban delivery to heavy-duty large van work. As part of the Stellantis group, Vauxhall vans share their platforms with Renault, Peugeot, Citroen, and Fiat equivalents, but are sold with Vauxhall’s UK dealer network and aftersales support, making them a particularly popular choice for British fleet operators.

AutoKontrol has over 41 years of speed limiter experience and has fitted speed limiters to thousands of Vauxhall commercial vehicles. We hold application data for every current and recent Vauxhall van model, plus the historical Movano and Vivaro variants that preceded them.

Vauxhall Model-by-Model Speed Limiter Guide

Vauxhall Movano

The Movano is Vauxhall’s large van, available in panel van, chassis cab, platform cab, and minibus configurations. Covering 2.8 to 4.5 tonne GVW, higher-weight Movano variants fall within mandatory speed limiter regulations. The current Movano (2022 onwards) is based on the Stellantis platform shared with the Renault Master and uses a 2.2-litre diesel engine with electronic drive-by-wire throttle.

Recommended product:

• Current Movano (2022 onwards): DBW Speed Limiter
• Previous Movano B (2010-2022, shared with Renault Master): DBW Speed Limiter
• Older Movano A (1998-2010): DBW Speed Limiter for later models; System 80 Speed Limiter for early models with cable throttle

The Movano-e (fully electric) is also available. Contact AutoKontrol for a free compatibility check on the electric variant.

Vauxhall Vivaro

The Vivaro is Vauxhall’s medium van, competing with the Ford Transit Custom and VW Transporter. The current Vivaro (2019 onwards) is based on the Stellantis EMP2 platform shared with the Peugeot Expert and Citroen Dispatch. It uses a 2.0-litre diesel engine with electronic throttle.

Recommended product:

• Current Vivaro (2019 onwards): DBW Speed Limiter
• Previous Vivaro B (2014-2019, shared with Renault Trafic): DBW Speed Limiter

The Vivaro-e (fully electric) is entering UK fleets in significant numbers. Contact AutoKontrol for compatibility information on the electric Vivaro.

Vauxhall Combo

The Combo is Vauxhall’s compact van, used for light deliveries, courier work, and trades. The current Combo (2018 onwards) is based on the Stellantis platform shared with the Peugeot Partner and Citroen Berlingo. It uses a 1.5-litre diesel engine with electronic throttle control.

Recommended product:

• Current Combo (2018 onwards): DBW Speed Limiter

Additional Solutions for Vauxhall Fleets

TrackSpeed: Speed Limiting with GPS Tracking

TrackSpeed combines an AutoKontrol speed limiter with ScorpionTrack Fleet GPS tracking. Vauxhall fleet operators receive verified speed compliance data alongside real-time vehicle tracking, route analysis, and driver behaviour monitoring — from a single installation.

For operators running mixed Vauxhall fleets — Combos alongside Vivaros and Movanos — TrackSpeed provides unified speed management across all vehicle sizes.

GeoKontrol 2: Geofenced Speed Control

GeoKontrol 2 automatically reduces the vehicle’s maximum speed when it enters a defined zone. Urban 20mph areas, depot approaches, hospital grounds, and customer sites can all be configured as speed-restricted geofences. The system adjusts speed in real time using GPS — no driver action needed.

GeoKontrol 2 is a standalone IoT device requiring no telematics subscription.

Speed Limiter Regulations and Voluntary Fitting

Vauxhall Movano variants over 3.5 tonnes used as goods vehicles are legally required to have a speed limiter under ECE Regulation 89, enforced by the DVSA. The set speed for goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes is 56 mph (90 km/h).

For lighter Vauxhall vans — Vivaro, Combo, and sub-3.5t Movano — fitting a speed limiter is voluntary but delivers significant benefits:

• Safety improvement — lower maximum speeds reduce accident risk and severity
• Insurance savings — certified speed limiters can reduce fleet insurance premiums
• Fuel economy — limiting speed to 60-65 mph delivers measurable fuel savings
• Reduced maintenance — lower speeds mean less wear on brakes, tyres, and drivetrain
• Duty of care compliance — proactive speed management demonstrates employer responsibility
• FORS and accreditation support — speed limiters contribute to fleet safety accreditations
