Acumen’s enclosed division has grown significantly in the last five years, from 13 to 30 assets, largely carrying premium vehicles for car manufacturers for deliveries direct to customers.
However, the fleet is also used to move prototypes and clay models across Europe, with manufacturers needing confidential and secure transport within covered GPS-tracked vehicles.
“Manufacturers now offer much broader ranges than ever before, which means there are more prototypes and models to move.... We’re trusted to handle a significant portion of this work, and we’re growing the fleet to ensure we can continue to meet this demand, including undertaking international work at a moment’s notice,” says Peter Raybould, Acumen’s development director.
Acumen’s largest articulated hard-sided trailers, such as the latest Belle Trailers and Rolfo assets, can accommodate up to six small cars or four large SUVs.
