A1 Group invests in MAN TGS car transporter rigids 15 August 2012

Wokingham-based A1 Group has taken delivery of two MAN TGS 26.330 6x2 rigids for its car spares division.

Both trucks were fitted with Belle car transporter bodywork and spectacle lifts, and are already in service collecting used and impounded cars for salvage or disposal from around the country.

The duo joins other 18-tonne MAN trucks already on A1s fleet, which operate with six-car bodywork.

The firm's new, higher specification models are 26-tonne units, with the uprated Belle bodywork allowing them to carry up to eight vehicles.

"The higher weight unit and larger capacity Belle bodywork has led to a sizeable reduction in road miles and reduced our carbon footprint," comments company owner, Russell Pike. "This all adds up to bottom line savings."

Pike also cites the service his company received from MAN dealer Cordwallis as instrumental in the decision to stay with MAN Truck and Bus.

"We have five-year MAN R&M contracts, but it's the peace of mind we enjoy from Cordwallis that you can't put a price on," states Pike. "The Cordwallis team is fantastic."

A1 Group run six MANs in a fleet of 25 trucks.
