TNT UK orders new tractor units

TNT UK has added 20 Euro VI Iveco Stralis 4×2 tractor units to its fleet. The new Stralis AT440S42T/Ps will operate with dry freight box van trailers carrying freight and parcels from three locations in the south – Byfleet, Alton and Southampton – to other TNT hubs throughout the UK.

The logistics company opted for the Stralis tractor units after an 80,000km six-month evaluation of a demonstrator.

“Feedback on the demonstrator we trialled was very positive,” said Steve Davis, National Engineering Manager at TNT UK. “In addition to its good fuel economy, we heard only good reports on maintenance and reliability, while drivers also praised the cab.”
