Boroughbridge Motors, part of temperature controlled storage and distribution business Reed Boardall, has worked with local Volvo dealership Crossroads Truck and Bus to create an on-site ATF (Authorised Testing Facility).
"With almost 200 vehicles in our fleet, it made sense to work with Volvo to invest in a dedicated ATF lane located here at our Boroughbridge site, following the closure of the Wetherby testing facility," explains Howard Gill, managing director of Reed Boardall Transport.
"We have a vehicle standards assessor on site to carry out annual checks to ensure that our tractors and refrigerated semi-trailers are roadworthy and meet all of the safety and environmental standards," he continues.
"Working with Crossroads, we're finding that this new system is providing a number of benefits in terms of convenience, speed and efficiency."
