We recently took delivery of a brand new MAN TGX 26.520 to add to our growing fleet. This is the first MAN vehicle we have added to the fleet for over 10 years, and we hope to be adding more in the near future. 

 

This addition reinforces our commitment to investing into new equipment to align with our growth strategy, whilst improving our service offering to our customers. 

 

We are also committed to reducing our carbon footprint and adding more fuel efficient, lower emission producing vehicles to our fleet. This new addition as well as others, reaffirms this commitment for the long-term future sustainability of our operations.
