I Exeter-based Renwicks Freight (South-West) has taken delivery of five Leyland Daf FA 1900 DNS trucks for its fiveyear contract with Tewkesbury-based Allied Mills.
Three of the new vehicles are fitted with curtainsided bodies from Bovey Commercial Bodies of Bovey Tracey, Devon. They will be used to carry up to 10.2 tonnes of bagged flour. The other two vehicles are fitted with pneumatic discharge blowing devices for quick off-loading of flour from one-tonne bins directly into bakery silos.
The FA 1900s are powered by Leyland Daf's DNS 6.2 litre turbocharged six-cylinder diesel engine, producing 156kW (209hp) and 649Nm of torque.
