Commercial Motor

May 17, 2011

Bulk fuels distributor Reynolds Logistics has taken delivery of six new Mercedes-Benz Actros tractor units to cope with a spike in UK volumes.

The Dublin operator, which has depots in Ellesmere Port, Birmingham and Doncaster, and recently opened a depot in Dover to act as its "springboard to the continent", has been experiencing an influx of new UK volumes.

The vehicles, supplied by Bell Truck Sales, have a livery using Reynolds' safety campaign logo 'Drive to Zero'. Chief executive Andrew Reynolds tells CM: "We have selected the Mercedes Actros for our expanding fleet as it combines good levels of driver comfort with economic performance."
