LANCASHIRE-BASED Yearsley Group has taken delivery of its first ever fleet of MANs following a trial that pitted the TGX against rival manufacturers.
The 20 TGX 6x2 tractor units are now running out of five of Years ley’s 12 depots.
Mark Haslam, head of logistics at Yearsley – who joined the firm from Suttons Group in May – says: “This is part of our strategy of replacing vehicles to ensure they remain as environmentally friendly and cost-efficient as possible. These vehicles are the first that Yearsley has ordered from MAN and we believe that the TGX is ideally suited to our operation.” The trial saw the MAN post a lower purchase price and fuel consumption, as well as maintenance costs, than its rivals. It also maintained better residual values.
