Asset Alliance to order 1,500 trucks

Asset Alliance Group has agreed an order with DAF for 1,500 new electric and diesel trucks in a deal worth more than £160 million.

The deal will see the company take delivery of the vehicles from 2023 onwards – and will include at least 75 trucks from DAF’s new electric vehicle range.

The bulk of the order will be a mix of New Generation DAF XF and XG tractor units. It will also include some New Generation DAF XD tractors and rigids in both electric and diesel drivelines.

Purchased with manufacturer R&M packages, the vehicles will be maintained through the DAF dealer network, which operates across more than 130 locations in the UK and Ireland.

Asset Alliance Group’s director of asset management Marc Mellon said: “This is a huge deal for us and has been many months in the making.

“It secures the number of trucks we need to maintain the quality of our fleet and high standard of operations, ensuring we can continue to supply our existing customers with exceptional modern, fuel-efficient vehicles, while also attracting new business with what will be the rapidly developing electric market.”
