Fruit importer cruises to 25-tractor deal with MAN22 September 2015

Fruit importer S H Pratt & Co has ordered 25 MAN TGX tractors, which will operate under the company’s Kinship Logistics banner.

The deal was brokered with MAN Rental and the Luton-based operator’s new acquisitions are TGX 26.440 XLX tractor units, fitted with MAN’s new Efficient Cruise system.

“I have always been impressed with the brand and the great product, and now that Efficient Cruise is a feature, the technology is there too,” says Tony Hunter, head of logistics.

“Efficiency is a major factor in our decision making. These vehicles will be running on a 24-hour double shift and will be covering 180,000km per annum. They are real workhorses.”

The vehicles will be maintained by John Arnold Commercials on a three-year R&M agreement. “The fact that John Arnold can offer us a 24-hour workshop and support is a huge bonus,” adds Hunter.
