Nobody could accuse\u00a0Premier Logistics in the UK\u00a0of being shrinking violets when it comes to choosing liveries for his truck fleet.\u00a0Lee Christopher, their\u00a0Managing Director follows a simple rule: the brighter the better.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now the Leicester-based company is running its most flamboyantly decorated vehicles yet \u2013 five attention-grabbing Mercedes-Benz New Actros 2545 BigSpace tractor units.<\/p>\n

Premier Logistics recognises that as well as \u2018delivering the goods\u2019, well-presented transport fleets can also double as highly effective mobile billboards. So each of its new trucks comes in a different, vivid shade, and when they are lined up together the visual impact is undeniably striking.<\/p>\n

\"Premier-Merc-Benz2\"<\/a>
\nThe Premier Logistics\u2019 fuel-efficient New Actros are powered by state-of-the-art 330 kW (450 hp) straight-six engines driving through the latest Mercedes PowerShift 3 automated transmissions. They represent additions to its fleet of more than 60 trucks.<\/p>\n

The operator is a leading member of the Pall-Ex network and its vehicles undertake local collections and deliveries, as well as trunking and groupage. The company also offers secure warehousing with 24-hour cctv monitoring.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re constantly busy and needed more trucks to cope with growing demand,\u201d says Mr Christopher. \u201cTrading conditions have obviously been very tough in the transport industry for some time now and unfortunately the difficulties proved insurmountable for some operators.
\n\u201cFrom what we can see though, the volume of business is definitely starting to pick up and for those of us who have ridden out the storm there\u2019s plenty of work to be had.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been a Mercedes-Benz fan and have enjoyed years of reliable, cost-efficient performance from our Actros and Axor trucks.
\n\u201cWe also have an excellent relationship with Mertrux. I\u2019ve known Managing Director Ian Marshall for many years, while the dealer\u2019s Leicester workshop team look after us very well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are our first New Actros and they certainly look impressive out on the road, especially in our colours,\u201d he continues. \u201cThe cabs are very well designed too. Feedback from the drivers has been very positive and although we won\u2019t measure the vehicles\u2019 fuel performance until they have more miles under their belts, the initial impressions are certainly encouraging.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
