Three EEV Iveco trucks for Brocklehurst Transport07 December 2011

Brocklehurst Transport has taken delivery of a trio of new Ivecos featuring Euro 5-beating FPT Industrial engines, each certified to meet EV (Enhanced Environmentally friendly Vehicle) standards.

Supplied by Iveco dealer Northern Commercials, the order comprises 7.5- and 18-tonne Eurocargo rigids, plus a 44-tonne Stralis Active Space Super tractor unit.

The trucks replace older vehicles in the fleet and will ensure that the majority of the company's vehicles can continue to enter London's Low Emission Zone (LEZ) without penalty, after new emissions standards come into force on 3 January 2012.

"Every truck we send into London will meet the emissions requirement. We don't intend to pay a single penalty," says Dave Webster, Brocklehurst Transport's managing director.

"The availability of the Ivecos with EEV-compliant engines as standard is an added benefit. Their cleaner emissions will help to protect our fleet against future legislation changes."

The two Eurocargos have both been mounted with Micra curtainside bodies and Zepro tail-lifts, while the Stralis will operate with one of two new tri-axle SDC curtainside trailers.

The Ivecos are each expected to cover up to 100,000km per year and will remain on the fleet for the next six years, being used for general haulage operations nationwide.
