The first of 30 new Rigids Isuzu N75. 190 (E) joined Stapleton tires services. The 7. 5 -ton fleet of the tire distributor has been Isuzu since 2007 after the transition from a rival manufacturer. The new trucks are complete -bodied with 18 -foot boxes from Essex bodies to maximize load capacity.
As replacements for older Isuzu trucks, Stapleton’s will use the N Series trucks on new tyre deliveries and casing collections as part of its recycling programme. The vehicles join a mixed fleet of 1,300 commercial vehicles.
Nick Cooper, head of group vehicles at parent company, European Tyre Enterprises, says: “When the time comes to order new trucks for our 7.5-tonne fleet, we survey the market to see what is available, but every time we come to the same conclusion – nothing beats what Isuzu has to offer. From the outstanding payload and superb reliability, right through to the customer support we receive, it’s an obvious choice.”
Cooper said, “The point we get is excellent; If we have a problem, we take the vehicle to the fact that the Isuzu corridor is closer, for sure, knowing that the service we get will be high. »»
Lee Tansley, Sales Director of the National Fleet for Isuzu Truck UK, “said:” We are very proud of the appointments that we have built with the Stapleton tire facilities team in the beyond 17 years. Working to optimize the frame to maximize the payload shows how our 7. 5 tons chassis can meet the specific desires of customers and, of course, our unparalleled reliability makes them return. »
The new trucks deserve to remain in the fleet for six years, covered through a rebate and maintenance contract in this period. While the trucks are controlled through Stapleton Tires Services, corporate supplies for an annual mileage of around 65,000 miles last six days a week.
Isuzu trucks will be at Road Transport Expo 2025, which will take its position at NAEC Stoneleigh between June 24 and 24. It’s loose and records are now open.
