Warcup Transport chooses MAN TGX trucks for its fleet 22 November 2012

Warcup Transport has taken delivery of six TGX 24.440 6x2 mid-lift 'Lite' tractor units, with XLX cabs – the first to grace the operator's commercial vehicle fleet.

The Driffield, East Yorkshire-based company's decision to move to MAN trucks comes after Warcup Transport received positive feedback from other local MAN-based hauliers.

It also follows a Euro 6 engineering address by MAN CEO Des Evans at a recent Transport Association conference.

High payload potential, unanimous driver acceptance and an excellent acquisition package finally convinced Warcup.

"Des Evans' views on Euro 6 and the UK market provided a real insight for us," says company director Clive Warcup.

"We had been eyeing-up MAN for a few years, and were hearing good things from other local operators. It was Des, however, that finally persuaded us of the operational benefits of the TGX product at Euro 5," he continues.

"After suffering a few high repair costs on our other truck-makes, thanks to their AdBlue systems, we were keen to stay ahead of Euro 6 and stick with EGR [exhaust gas recirculation] engines," he adds.

All of the new MAN TGX tractor units have been specified with MAN telematics and EcoStyle driver performance monitoring.
