Cartwright has won an order for 123 bodies from fleet management company VMS (Fleet Management) for its customer Dixons Retail. The order is for lightweight 3.5-tonne aerodynamic rigid box vans on Iveco chassis.
VMS says the vehicles, resplendent in the new Know How livery, will make a positive environmental impact, reducing the carbon by clever use of lightweight recyclable materials and aerodynamic Cheetah Fastback profiling.
Interestingly, to assist the operator a rear slam-door lock system has been developed, together with a fold-over tail lift. In total the vehicle is capable of carrying in excess of 1,000kg payload.
"We are delighted with this major order from VMS for such a prestigious high street retailer, and to help play a part in reducing Dixons' carbon footprint," comments Darren Holland, group sales director of the Cartwright Group.
