Global import and export specialist Bullet Express has ordered 11 new vehicles from Asset Alliance Group.
The three-year contract hire deal comprises five 18-tonne Iveco Eurocargo 4x2 curtainsiders and six DAF XF 480 6x2 tractor units, all liveried in Bullet Express’ new blue and white branding.
The trucks, which are a mix of replacements and new additions, join a fleet of more than 120 vehicles and will operate seven days a week. They will be based at the company’s recently opened 32,000 sq ft fully-racked logistics hub on London Road in Glasgow.
Bullet Express MD John McKail, said: “We’ve worked with Asset Alliance Group for several years now, and we see them as an extension of our business. To keep up with increasing customer demand in storage, express pallets, and special services we’ve needed to grow our fleet, and it was a no brainer that we would return to Asset Alliance Group for this order.”

Asset Alliance Group will retain ownership of the trucks as part of the deal, which includes all associated operational costs, including tyre replacements, full servicing, maintenance and repair requirements, safety inspections, road fund licensing and breakdown cover.
Dougie Bennett, business development manager at Asset Alliance Group, says: “We’re thrilled to continue working with John and the team at Bullet Express. We want to thank them for the continued business, and we look forward to supporting them as they continue to grow.”
