Aggregates business has rock-steady service from DAF09 February 2015

Yorkshire-based operator John Owen (Aggregates) has taken delivery of three Euro 6 DAF CF FAD construction tippers and ordered four more, citing whole life costs as well as dealer back-up as reasons for the decision.

Local dealer Chatfields Sheffield carries out servicing and maintenance for John Owen overnight, ensuring its 20-strong DAF fleet is always available during working hours.

A DAF customer for 15 years, John Owen's vehicles typically cover 100,000km a year carrying up to 20 tonnes at a time, and are replaced every three years.

"I use DAFs because their cost and parts prices offer good value for money, and also because of the back-up provided by our DAF dealer to ensure our lorries on the road and working for us at all times," says Leon Gull, managing director of John Owen (Aggregates).

"Another key part of their appeal is the smart and modern appearance of the new greener Euro 6 models, which we're very pleased with, and are achieving excellent fuel economy."
