Eddie Stobart and A W Jenkinson Forest Products have again signed a joint procurement agreement with Scania in the UK for 1,000 trucks.
The deal mirrors an order placed by the two operators back in 2010 that, at the time, represented Scania's largest ever supply agreement in the UK.
Scheduled for delivery between March this year (2012) and December 2013, some 300 trucks will enter service this year. As with the previous order, the vehicles will comprise mainly Scania R-series tractor units, with some G-series vehicles too.
"This agreement reflects our on-going satisfaction with Scania and the levels of support provided by the company's dealer network," comments Stobart Group chief operating officer, William Stobart.
"Scania's focus on ongoing development will allow Eddie Stobart to continue to provide sustainable distribution and the usual high levels of service to its customers," he adds.
