Acumen accelerates fleet expansion with Scania14 June 2016

Acumen Automotive Logistics has taken delivery of four new Scania tractors in a deal worth £750,000, bringing its fleet size to 50 vehicles.

The trucks have transporter bodies by Hunwick Engineering and all feature a 12-speed fully automatic Opticruise gearbox, adaptive cruise control and advanced emergency braking.

They also have sleeper cabs and are supplied with full R&M contracts from Scania and Hunwick.

“We ordered the Scania latest generation TE +11 Evo 8 transporter body and trailer as they are equipped with electronic start/stop which can be operated from three separate places. The prime mover has the latest designed top deck with new positions for cars five and six,” says Chris Doughty, Acumen’s managing director.

“The new design enables a smoother transition allowing the driver to reverse cars up to the peak thereby enabling greater flexibility to configure and ease the loading in these positions.”
