HAULIER DOWNTON has brought in 30 new MAN TGX tractor units to service its InBev UK contract in south Wales.
Downton picked up the contract to cover the south of the UK, along with KN Drinks Logistics covering the north and Hoyer handling do mestic bulk beer distribution, from DHL Tradeteam in August. The firm struck a three-year operating lease deal with Lancashire-based MAN service dealer Steadplan for TGX 26.440 6x2 tractors. The new vehicles are expected to cover more than 220,000km annually, and will be based at Magor.
Operations director John Downton says the company already dealt with Steadplan for its STAS moving floor trailers. “What impresses us is Steadplan’s enthusiasm, responsiveness and sheer commitment to everything it does.
“So why should we not consider Steadplan for our trucks as well?
MAN is not only a premium brand, but also offers products that are very well suited to our operation,” he says.
