Guest keeps converting Thyssenkrupp to Iveco

Engineering company Thyssenkrupp continues to migrate its fleet from DAF to Iveco with the support of Guest Truck and Van.

The Midlands dealership supplied six 18 tonne Eurocargo trucks and five 26 tonne Stralis trucks, all with curtain-sided bodies to run out of Thyssenkrupp’s Cradley Heath depot - meaning the international steel and engineering firm now has 23 Iveco units in its 45-strong fleet.

Steve Murray, operations and logistics director at Thyssenkrupp, said that over the next two to three years it would be looking to convert the entire fleet to Iveco.

“Iveco offers competitive prices and our drivers are all really happy with the trucks - there is more space in the cabs and they are very well built. We’ve got no complaints,” Murray said.

“The customer service from Guest is always great. The team is really knowledgeable about the vehicles and from the moment we place an order, we are kept fully up to date throughout the build stages.

“We've developed a good relationship with the team at the West Bromwich garage and they are always happy to work around us - they even service our trucks through the night so that we don't have to have vehicles off the road,” Murray added.

In February Guest delivered four 17-tonne Eurocargo dropsides and three 26-tonne Stralis curtainsiders to Thyssenkrupp.
