Agricultural haulier ploughs ahead with Euro 6 DAFs 03 July 2015

Agricultural haulier AB Texel has taken delivery of 10 Euro 6 DAF XF tractors as part of its fleet replacement programme. All are supplied on contract hire by Ryder.

The Whittlesey-based operator's new additions are XF 460 6x2 units and will be coupled to lightweight bulk trailers, each giving a 30-tonne load capacity for its potato transport operation.

"We had been a customer of Hill Hire for a number of years, so when Ryder acquired them, we could enjoy the operational, back-up and service benefits of partnering with one of the UK's largest contract hire providers," says David Eady, AB Texel's managing director.

"Our trucks run nationwide, so the service and support we receive from Ryder is a major factor in helping us to maintain our collection and delivery schedules."
