M EACHERS TRANSPORT and Warehousing's Derby depot has taken delivery of 12 Euro-4 Mercedes-Benz Actroses and has three Euro-5 versions on order.
The tractor units are all BlueTec Actros 2544s with long-distance sleeper cabs and 12-speed Mercedes-Benz PowerShift automated transmissions; they were delivered via Derby dealer Mertrux.
Director Rchard Lambourne reports that Meachers used to run an MAN-ERF fleet because it held a sales fran chise for the brand, but after selling that part of its business two-and-a-half years ago it started to look at other marques.
He adds that Meachers opted for Mercedes-Benz because he has known the management at Mertux for a long time and they offered a competitive package with strong backup.
