2MV Logistics has expanded its fleet with two new DAF XF FTG tractor units, to service "consistent growth" the company has been seeing.
The haulier, a Hazchem and TPN member, now operates a flete of 20 vehicles with the new DAFs.
MD Jim Tyler said that even though 2MV Logistics is a "relatively small player in the world of logistics", the two brightly coloured tractor units were attracting more business from current and new customers.
"Customers like to know they are dealing with a successful and progressive operator, and these trucks show they are," he said.
"Also, we have modern premises in Farlington, on the edge of Portsmouth, that offer clean and secure storage as well as a great base for our fleet.”
The business chose DAF for its new units because an older tractor unit with 1.35 million kms on the clock is still running smoothly.
Tyler said: “While I am looking forward to the potential 7% fuel improvement promised by DAF with the New XFs, and I hear other operators are getting it, this decision has far more to do with previous experience of the marque.
"2MV Logistics is not an exclusively DAF fleet at the moment, but we’ve run DAF rigids for some time on our pallet service – we were a very early member of TPN, The Pallet Network – and day-in and day-out those trucks just deliver great robustness and reliability. The products are incredibly sound mechanically.”
The vehicles have been bought through PACCAR Financial with three year DAF MultiSupport R&M packages.
