Pet food manufacturer Natures Menu is changing nearly 60 of its 72-strong light commercial fleet to the latest Crafter range, from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.
VW worked with the raw frozen food producer and its converter, Coolkit, on equipping the vehicles to meet the requirement for product transportation at -18C. The vans are supplied by dealer Southern Motor Group.
“Thanks to the flexibility of the vans and the expertise at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, we have been able to introduce the perfect new vans into our fleet,” says Ben Puckey, transport manager at the Norfolk-based operator.
“We chose the Crafters because of the flexible load space. It is the ideal vehicle to modify with the technology we need to keep our products at a suitable temperature.”
As well as vehicle quality, aftersales support from the VW network “really gives us peace of mind”, he adds.
