The first batch is nearing completion, with the remainder to be delivered by mid Q4 ready for the UK’s Black Friday retail period followed by Christmas, during which time it expects to transport over 3 million parcels.
David Landy, Evri’s head of fleet, said: "We're delighted with the new trailers, they look great and are helping us celebrate our heritage and 50 years of courier deliveries. We have a great relationship with Tiger and they have been superb in meeting our unique needs for the new trailers."
At 4 metres in height, the new trailers come with a galvanised rear frame with integrated rear buffers.
Operator safety has been taken into consideration as the stutter door strap enables closure from ground level to mitigate any potential strain injuries, and a retractable tail-lift from Dhollandia with P-gates aids loading and unloading. Yellow side infills are said to increase safety for cyclists, and Haldex’s GEN-4 braking system along with its TEM (trailer emergency module) parking valve heighten safety during yard operation and driving on the road.
Joining the 200 trailers supplied in 2015 and the 189 trailers added in 2022, this latest order from Evri takes the operator’s Tiger Trailers fleet over the 525 mark.
