In a UK first, Bedfords Transport has bought two Iveco EcoStralis tractor units to run on behalf of its recent acquisition, LinQ Alliance.
The new 44-tonne 4x2 EcoStralis tractor units have been purchased from Yorkshire based truck and van dealership Northern Commercials, and will carry LinQ Alliance livery.
Steff Pfadenhauer, managing director at Bedfords makes the point that Iveco offers at least a 4% improvement in fuel economy with the EcoStralis.
Hence Bedfords' purchase, which was also founded on environmental issues surrounding the transport industry.
"Investing in the new EcoStralis units is another move forward for Bedfords and demonstrates our strong relationship with Northern Commercials," comments Pfadenhauer.
"We work hard to reduce fuel consumption with our current fleet, but these new units help to reduce it further still," he adds.
