Online electricals retailer Ao has acquired 130 new home delivery vans from Fraikin as part of an ongoing contract hire agreement.
The new 3.5-tonne Mercedes vans are being built by Bevan Group and have been custom made on a sprinter suspension and chassis. The vehicles also include extra safety features such as auto collision avoidance, high wind compensation and lane assist.
This is the second time this year that Ao has invested in its delivery fleet. In March, the retailer also acquired 10 compressed natural gas-powered tractor units in a bid to reduce its carbon footprint and improve sustainability across its commercial vehicle fleet.
