Eddie Stobart and AW Jenkinson Forest Products have ordered another 1,000 trucks from Scania in a new joint-procurement agreement.
The deal is similar to the order placed by the two haulage operators in 2010, which at the time represented Scania's largest ever supply agreement in the UK.
Vehicles are due to be delivered between March 2012 and December 2013, and about 300 will enter service this year.
Like the previous order, the vehicle mix will comprise mainly R-series tractor units but will also include a significant number of G-series trucks.
William Stobart, chief operating officer at Stobart Group says: "This agreement reflects our on-going satisfaction with Scania and the levels of support provided by the company's dealer network.
"Scania's focus on ongoing development will allow Eddie Stobart to continue to provide sustainable distribution and the usual high levels of service to its customers."
Hans-Christer Holgersson, MD of Scania (Great Britain), says: "Winning such a significant repeat order not only demonstrates that our products meet the operational needs of these two high profile customers day-in day-out, but also the capabilities of our service organisation when it comes to providing a comprehensive range of back-up services on such a large geographical scale."
