Accident repair specialist Hilton Coachworks has added a Mercedes-Benz Antos 26-tonner to its fleet.

The Antos was supplied by dealer S&B Commercials.

It has a S-ClassicSpace day cab and is powered by a 7.7-litre BlueEfficiency engine that produces 300hp and drives through an eight-speed version of the Mercedes PowerShift 3 automated transmission.

Its bodywork is by Halstead-based Transporter Engineering.

Hilton Group finance manager Paul Underdown said: “We’ve been enjoying strong growth based on the quality of our work and service.

As a result we’re travelling further afield to pick-up damaged vehicles from dealerships, customers’ homes and other locations, then return them once they’ve been repaired. The new transporter is used for the more distant work.”
