Iveco has supplied a pair of18-tonne Eurocargo skip loaders from its DriveAway range of ready bodied vehicles to Brown Recycling, Staffordshire’s largest waste management company.
Both 4x2 rigids feature Boughton bodywork and were available to buy direct from local dealer Sherwood Truck & Van’s forecourt, enabling them to enter operation just as soon as they’d been painted in the customer’s distinctive brown livery. The delivery marks a major conquest order for Iveco, joining a 40-strong fleet of predominantly competitor vehicles.
The new arrivals will transport full and empty skip loads between depots in Crewe, Leek, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stafford, replacing older models and are expected to remain in service for five years.
