Axis secures 50-strong MAN order from Freightliner

Freightliner has signed a deal with Axis Fleet Management for the supply of 50 MAN tractor units, to be delivered this month.

The new MAN TGX XLX 480 tractors will be supplied on a seven-year R&M contract. The units will be fully ADR specified, with full catwalk infill and a full Hatcher air management kit.

They will also feature EBA (electronic brake assist) and LGS (lane guard system).

Freightliner has been working with Axis since 2007. “We have been thoroughly impressed with the innovation, reliability and safety aspects of our MAN fleet,” says Richard Branston, Freightliner’s general manager.

“Our latest Euro 6 MAN trucks incorporate state of the art safety technology and environmental features, ensuring our continued commitment to the safety of our employees and road users while further reducing our impact on the environment.”
