| 摘要： | Stoke-based JLM Transport has added six DAF tractor units to its fleet to help meet the needs of its client Smyths Toys in the UK and France. The New Generation DAF XF 480 6×2 tractor units will mainly be used to transport products from Smyths Toys suppliers to the toy retailer's warehouses in Stoke and Corby. They will also carry out outbound deliveries to more than 100 stores in the UK and Ireland, as well as carrying out general haulage work. A number of the XF 480 trucks make overseas trips to Smyths Toys' warehouse in Lille, France, following the Irish company's acquisition of French retailer PicWic Toys last year. The newtrucksjoin a mix of 12 New Generation DAF XF 480 and XG 530 tractor units. All 18 vehicles - nearly half of the company's total fleet- are supplied on three-year contract hire deals. Chris Blake, transport manager at JLM Transport, said: "We are continually investing in our fleet of modern, fuel-efficient vehicles to maintain and expand our service levels for Smyths Toys and a wide range of other clients. 'The New Generation DAF 480 trucks fit the bill perfectly - helping us to unlock fuel savings and improved driver satisfaction. Our drivers have commented on how well the trucks drive and their excellent pulling power, and they like the space and comfort of the cabs. We are working the trucks hard in the UK and they can be out for three-day trips when they go to Lille." |
