More MAN truck power comes to CE Electric UK03 November 2010

CE Electric UK, the company responsible for delivering electricity to more than 3.8 million properties across NE England, Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire, has added four more MAN TGM trucks to its fleet.

The company, which reports "outstanding performance" from the trucks, has now taken 12 MAN truck deliveries over the last 12 months.

This latest delivery includes two TGM 18.250 4x4 specification rigids, with rear-mounted cranes for off-road maintenance of overhead power-lines.

Meanwhile, a 26 tonne TGM 26.340LL curtainsider, equipped with a rear-mounted Moffat fork-truck and full air suspension, is already based at CE's central Billingham location, delivering palletised materials to depots.

Finally, another 26 tonner, in the shape of a TGM 26.340LL with a specially engineered chassis – including axle load monitoring to allow the addition of a large rear-mounted Palfinger PK42502 crane – will be used for shifting large switch gear, transformers and cable drums.

MAN was selected after CE-owned fleet service provider Vehicle Lease and Service tendered its new vehicle requirement as part of a buying consortium.
