NX Logistics get a full-service from Asset Alliance for dozen new DAFs

NX Logistics, part of The NX Group, has taken 12 new DAF XF 530 tractor units on a two-year full-service contract from Asset Alliance Group.

The new trucks join a 38-strong truck and trailer fleet where they will predominantly be pulling box trailers with palletised loads to a wide range of B2B and B2C customers.

Currently around two thirds of the NX Logistics fleet has been provided by Asset Alliance Group and with their full-service contract hire offering, will get all safety inspections, maintenance, servicing and repairs, tyre cover, and full roadside assistance covered by a single monthly payment.

Neil Powell, MD at The NX Group, said: “A good relationship and excellent communication are really important to us when it comes to looking for a company that can provide vehicles for our fleet. We’ve worked with three different suppliers over the 12 years we have been in business and Asset Alliance Group prove time and time again they are the ones we can trust – both with the service they provide and with reliable, modern vehicles.”

Five of the new DAFs are replacements for older models, and the remainder are new additions to the fleet in support of recent business growth. All 12 are expected to clock-up between 80,000km and 100,000km per year.

“It’s not just me who has the last word on the vehicles we operate. The input of our transport manager and drivers play a huge part on the assets, spec and company we choose, and the newness of the DAFs is proving to be very popular. We always try to have the most up-to-date kit, as we want to keep our drivers happy and comfortable,” Powell added.
