BW panel van fleet is a Somers-only zone05 May 2011

BW Refrigerated Couriers has now started to switch all its panel van fleet over to Mercedes Sprinter vans, each specified 100% with Somers ATP certified refrigerated panel van conversions.

As part of its vehicle replacement program, the company – a food product courier, focusing on chilled and frozen goods – has recently added a further six medium wheelbase Mercedes Sprinter vans and one long wheelbase van.

These additions bring the total panel van fleet to 20, and all are Somers refrigerated van conversions, featuring GAH Super Rapier SR351F low temperature refrigeration systems.

The twin compartment bodied vans have been specified with a front frozen compartment that operates to -25°C whereas the rear chilled compartment can operate down to 0°C, with the vans specified to handle up to 20 door openings per eight hour distribution cycle.

"From experience we know that, as part of the Paneltex Group, the Somers refrigerated conversions can handle our courier requirements, with the build quality easily lasting the planned four-year working life of our panel van fleet," comments David Hake, managing director, BW Refrigerated Couriers.
