Jeremy Hulme of Sherwood Truck and Van, the group supplying the new vehicles, said: "The 490hp IVECO S-Way AS440 S49 TX/FP boasts a lavishly appointed active space cab and a 13-litre Cursor engine. The full air suspension across all axles not only provides versatility and enhanced driver comfort but also allows monitoring of axle weight compliance directly from the cab. This kind of suspension can also be particularly useful in mild off-road scenarios where uneven terrains might be a challenge."
Andy Evans, fleet optimisation manager, said: "Our fleet travels right across Europe every day, and one of our core focuses has always been the comfort of our drivers. Professional drivers in reliable, comfortable trucks give the best customer service and their feedback on the S-Way model has been positive enough for us to order more, and we're equally appreciative of the consistent after-sales support from Sherwood Truck and Van."
The deal includes a five-year service contract.
