Three new vehicles have been added to the Stovax Group, in response to continuing growth at the stove and fireplace manufacturer.
The investment covers one 7.5-tonne Mitsubishi Fuso Canter truck and two Vito vans, all of which being supplied by the City West Commercials dealership in Exeter.
Stovax's new Canter 7C15 has a lightweight curtainside body by Bristol-based specialist AJ Bracey. Its long-bodied 2.7-tonne Mercedes-Benz Vito 111CDI vans, meanwhile, were specified with optional air-conditioning and Comfort drivers' seats; they represent extensions to the Stovax Group fleet and are now being used by service engineers and as training support units.
"Over the last couple of years we have enjoyed a significant surge in demand and this year the trend has continued. These new vehicles will quite literally help to drive our ongoing growth.
"We chose the Canter for its market-leading payload, which makes it more productive than any other vehicle in the 7.5-tonne weight segment and also helps us to minimise our fuel consumption and distribution costs," says Stovax and Gazco Group associate commercial director Ed Henry.
He continues: "We can carry a full four tonnes on our new truck and its compact external dimensions mean it is also very manoeuvrable, which is a big advantage when it comes to moving quickly between our many local sites."
