Bako updates fleet with Gray & Adams rigids

London, UK: Bakery product supplier Bako has taken delivery of a new fleet of vehicles from Gray & Adams.

In 2024, Bako introduced 13 new 26-tonne rigids with dual-compartment bodies designed by Gray & Adams. These vehicles replace ageing vehicles and have been tailored to meet the challenges of regular, temperature-controlled deliveries across the north of England and Scotland.

Gemma Webster, group marketing manager Bako, said“We needed to modernise our fleet to ensure consistent performance and reliability for our customers. Gray & Adams delivered a specification that exceeded our expectations. We are particularly impressed with the innovative technology featured in this fleet, such as underslung fridge motors powered electrically via an engine-driven PTO. This helps us deliver bakery products in perfect condition while being mindful of energy efficiency.”

Gray & Adams worked closely with Bako and its suppliers to design the bodies. The vehicles are engineered for durability, with a robust design capable of serving for 10–12 years. The bespoke dual-compartment bodies provide temperature control of frozen and chilled goods.
