It will be going in to operation as a commercial vehicle recovery unit largely working in London and the home counties.
James Miles Ogden, head of business development at Lantern, said: “We run a fleet of between 150 and 200 trucks and other vehicles and we are impressed with the marque – all the MAN vehicles we have return good economy.
“This vehicle, with its D38 engine, will be used for accident and breakdown recovery work for anything from 7.5 tonnes upwards and will be operating largely around London and the Home Counties, although we will provide the service wherever it is needed.
“Our experience with MAN has been positive and we certainly plan to continue our relationship with them.”
John Reynolds, MAN sales executive, added: “With an average of 300,000 vehicle movements a year, including recovery and bulk moves, Lantern Recovery needs a fleet that is both reliable and efficient, and it knows that is what MAN offers.
“The new MAN TGX 26.560 will tow up to 90 tonnes and the truck with its XXL cab and leather seats it will provide a comfortable service to drivers who are facing the inconvenience of needing roadside assistance from Lantern Recovery.”
