CEVA Logistics and British Gypsum have introduced a fleet of 85 new Volvo tractor units that will help achieve the goal of operating a safe and sustainable transport network. CEVA will immediately start operating the new fleet, which will transport British Gypsum's interior lining systems from five specialist manufacturing sites to 3,500 stockists across the UK.
The vehicles promote best-in-industry safety features such as extra-low ride height for reducing blind spots and increasing visibility levels. CEVA has specified a number of other features to promote safer trailer changing, including an advanced camera system, anti-roll and drive away prevention device, full telematics and additional nearside vision panels in the passenger door.
All trucks are fully Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) Gold compliant. In addition, to provide the best-in-industry safety features, the trucks have audible left-turn alarms, mobile CCTV camera systems and anti-spill fuel tanks.
British Gypsum distribution manager Brian Fisher said: 'We have a desire to be the safest road transport network in the UK and these new high-tech, best-in-industry vehicles will help us to achieve that vision.'
