In order to further enhance its service offering to customers, CEVA Logistics, one of the worlds largest supply chain management companies, has signed a three year lease with Dawsonrentals truck and trailer in the UK to provide 120 new vehicles to upgrade its vehicle fleet. Commencing this autumn, CEVA will introduce a series of IVECO Stralis tractor units into its operation to enhance efficiency, produce greater fuel economy, and increase focus on sustainability through minimising the impact of its fleet on the environment.
The 44 tonne gross vehicle weight vehicles are each fitted with sleeper cabs, and will be distributed throughout the second half of this year across a number of CEVAs operations, including in the consumer retail, automotive and healthcare sectors. They have been acquired to upgrade the current fleet to ensure that CEVAs customers continue to receive the best possible service for their supply chains.
Michael O’Donoghue, CEVA’s executive vice-president UK, Ireland, and Nordics, stated: “We believe that our customers deliveries should be undertaken using the most modern and efficient equipment. By adding these state-of-the-art vehicles to our fleet, we will be able to operate with the very best equipment and manage our customers’ supply chains to the highest possible standards,”
John Fletcher, Dawsonrentals managing director, added: “Dawsonrentals unique structure means we can react quickly to customer needs. Having understood CEVAs focus on reliability, support, and fuel performance, both for economy and environmental reasons, we were able to recommend the right vehicle package, and as importantly, move fast to secure trucks with a very specific spec, and mobilise the whole project on time within a mutually acceptable contracted price.
