Premier Logistics brightens up fleet with Mercedes New Actros27 September 2013

Premier Logistics has taken delivery of five New Actros 2545 BigSpace tractor units – and gone for the bright ends of the rainbow spectrum with its livery.

Supplied by East Midlands dealer Mertrux, Premier Logistics' latest tractor units are powered by the 450bhp straight-six engines, mated to Mercedes-Benz' PowerShift 3 automated transmissions.

"We're constantly busy and needed more trucks to cope with growing demand," explains Premier Logistics managing director Lee Christopher.

"These are our first New Actros and they certainly look impressive out on the road, especially in our colours," he continues.

"The cabs are very well designed, too. Feedback from the drivers has been very positive and, although we won't measure the vehicles' fuel performance until they have more miles under their belts, the initial impressions are certainly encouraging."

The operator is a member of the Pall-Ex network and its vehicles undertake local collections and deliveries, as well as trunking and groupage. The company also offers secure warehousing with 24-hour cctv monitoring.
