Spalding, UK: FreshLinc has taken delivery of its first 20 Scania S-series trucks, all of which are 500 S 6×2/2 mid-lift tractor units equipped with Scania’s 500 horsepower 12.7-litre engine.
Split between three of the company’s divisions – FreshLinc, FloraLinc and DirectLinc – the vehicles will run both in the UK and on the organisation’s European operations. Scania’s Spalding branch, is providing the vehicles and will also be responsible for the majority of servicing work required throughout the three-year R&M period included in the deal.
“We have once again chosen Scania as they continue to impress in terms of their fuel returns, driver acceptance and good service coverage, both in the UK and throughout Europe,” says FreshLinc fleet engineer, Andy Marchant.
“The move to the larger S-series with Highline cab is due to its suitability for our European operations as well as driver acceptance and residual values.”
