NewCold upgrades fleet with 36 Volvo FH tractors19 January 2017
Cold storage and transport firm NewCold Advanced Cold Logistics has taken delivery of 36 Volvo FH tractors, as part of a fleet upgrade to meet increased demand for its services.
Supplied by dealer Crossroads Truck and Bus, Birstall, the Wakefield-based operator’s new additions are FH 6x2s and have 500bhp engines driving through I-Shift transmissions.
All have Globetrotter cabs and a 4.1m wheelbase to maximise fuel capacity. They are supplied on a three-year contract hire package.
NewCold’s country director Jon Miles says: “The FH4 500 is loved by our drivers and the truck also gives good journey times while giving great returns on fuel. With Crossroads Truck & Bus close to our operating centre we get world-class service to maximise uptime.”
The operator is also taking delivery of six more Gray & Adams 44-pallet floating deck trailers, bringing its double-deck fleet to 12, and it expects to order 30 more by the end of this year.
