The first three vehicles are already at work . with four promised for September and four due on I January 2008.
Director Stephen MaIlinson says: -The Dafs were slightly ahead on mpg which is important but the crucial thing was Volvo and Mercedes couldn't give me Euro-5 at that time or that price. We're working with our customers and everyone has a green campaign now.

The trailer is marked with a Willow Burn Hospice design and the tractor's registration plate is W111 OWH. It joins ElddisS Mercedes-dominated fleet of more than 160 vehicles on general haulage duties and will also help to increase the profile of the fund-raising effort by visiting shows and local events.
