Emerald takes over Iveco distributorship in Ireland25 February 2014

Iveco has appointed Emerald Truck & Van as its new distributor for Ireland.

Emerald has acquired the commercial vehicle business of BOD Vehicle Support Services to enable it to grow the new distributorship.

The appointment means that Emerald's parent company, Gaffer Group, is now responsible for all Iveco sales and support, through Emerald and its subsidiary NI Truck in Northern Ireland.

Emerald will operate from Rathcoole, County Dublin, and plans to invest £10 million in its business in the next three years. It will offer the full Iveco line-up from 3.5 to 44 tonnes, including the Daily, Eurocargo, Trakker and Stralis ranges.

"We intend to grow the Iveco share of the commercial vehicle market as we see significant opportunities for the brand with customers ranging from owner-drivers to established fleets," says Mark Smith, Emerald's managing director.
