Morgan Sindall takes UK’s first Arocs Euro 6 trucks 19 December 2013

Construction firm Morgan Sindall is the first in the UK to take delivery of Mercedes-Benz Arocs tippers running at the Euro 6 engine emissions standard.

Bodied by tipper specialists Thompsons of Blackburn, both vehicles use its latest all-steel 'carry anything' Loadmaster multi-purpose tipper body.

The trucks also include vulnerable road user protection in the form of fitted side guards, rear and side cameras and a side scan detection system for cyclists and pedestrians.

Morgan Sindall has leased two of the £100,000 trucks, which will be working on its contract to re-lay the runway at Heathrow Airport, delivering materials to site and clearing spoil away.

"As a major UK construction and infrastructure company, we take leader role in driving forward our industry's sustainability performance," comments Jonathan Hall, plant director for Morgan Sindall.

"We are making demonstrable progress in the field of sustainability, and our acquisition of these Euro 6 compliant vehicles serves to highlight that," he adds.

"These are the first 8x4 Euro 6 Arocs to enter service in the UK and Morgan Sindall is demonstrating how safety, not only for their own personnel but other third parties in general, and sustainability work hand in hand," comments James Colbourne, head of strategic accounts, Mercedes-Benz truck sales and marketing.
