Good cost controls fuel Biogan’s Axor tanker deal 01 February 2010

Scottish fuel distributor Brogan Fuels has bought two Mercedes Axor 2543 6 x2 tractive units under a five year contract hire deal, with fleet maintenance support, using Euroway Group.

Duncan Ross, group transport manager at Brogan Fuels, says that cost controls were the primary driver. "The deal with Euroway enables us to [cut costs], not just in vehicle acquisition terms, but also over the full operational life of the vehicles, through utilisation of their FleetSure maintenance package."

And he adds: "During the tender process, we liked the way Euroway were able to provide us with a competitive contract that was not only flexible to our needs, but also gave us the long term fixed cost benefit too."

The two pet reg fleet cabbed Axors are already in service, based at Brogan Fuels' depot in Grangemouth, and are expected to cover in excess of 200,000km per annum, distributing fuel oils as far north as Inverness and as far south as Penrith.
