AIM Logistics DAF truck

AIM Logistics has added 12 new DAF XF 480 tractor units to its fleet.

It means the the temperature controlled transport specialist’s fleet is now 80% DAF.

AIM has operated a number of premium duty tractors across a range of major truck manufactures since 2004 and describes DAF as better “by a country mile”.

Company director, Ismail Elmagdoub, said: “DAF’s whole-life proposition made our most recent acquisition a no-brainer.

"We can purchase four new DAFs for the same cost as three from another well-known premium brand.”

“And, with consistent fuel returns of between 10 and 11 mpg on mixed work, and outstanding back-up from Imperial Commercials, it’s small wonder DAF now makes up the majority of the fleet.”

The new additions to the fleet coincide with the company’s move to a new £5 million distribution centre and cold-store.
