Coventry City Council has taken delivery of a drain and gully cleaning tanker from Whale Tankers.
The new unit – built on a Daf LF chassis - will be used for the cleaning of highway drainage systems around the city to ensure localised flooding does not occur.
Brian Martin, fleet manager for Coventry City Council, said: “We’ve had Whale tankers before and currently have two operating within our fleet.
“We have always been impressed with their performance as they basically run forever and give us no problems."
Whale Tankers recently supplied three similar vehicles to Solihull Council.
