New fleet on the horizon for Teignbridge31 October 2023

Teignbridge District Council in Devon is to receive a new fleet in Spring 2024 as part of an ongoing contract hire agreement with Specialist Fleet Services (SFS).

The 56-vehicle fleet includes 12 refuse collection vehicles, 20 Romaquip Kerb-Sort recycling vehicles, as well as a sweeper for street cleansing and vans to facilitate other council services such as car parks and enforcement.

Chris Braines, waste and cleansing manager at Teignbridge District Council, said: “The new fleet will include the latest lower emissions technologies and assist us in providing the most efficient service we can, whilst improving our sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint.”

The current seven-year fleet replacement and maintenance contract was agreed in 2014 and was extended for an additional three years to enable the council to review its strategy on the decarbonisation of its fleet and workshops.

Bob Sweetland, managing director at SFS said: “With this latest fleet replacement, we have provided more than 250 vehicles to Teignbridge District Council over the past 20+ years.”
