Wickes has taken delivery of its first batch of two of 16 Scania P320 trucks as it expands its delivery services for online customers and trade professionals.
Following an agreement with Scania and Novuna Vehicle Solutions, the DIY giant took delivery of the heavy goods vehicles (HGV) at Novuna Vehicle Solutions’ Trowbridge site.
The Scania vehicles, which feature a brick grab crane, have a payload of approximately nine tonnes and will be used to transport DIY and home improvement products to customers throughout the UK in partnership with Wincanton, contracting under Wickes.
Novuna worked in collaboration with Scania dealer West Pennine Trucks to custom design and build the new vehicles for Wickes.
As part of the agreement, Novuna partnered with Scania to deliver training to transport and safety stakeholders, educating them on the features, fuel economy and crane operation.
