Cross Transport refreshes fleet with 56 DAFs to service its Amazon work

Cross Transport has taken delivery of 56 DAF XF tractor units to facilitate its contract with Amazon.

The full-service contract hire deal from Asset Alliance Group is valued at around £4.5m and replaces older assets on its fleet with new tractors spec’d with Super Space cabs.

The DAFs will cover 140,000km a year and the agreement covers all safety inspections, maintenance, servicing and repairs.

The trucks support Cross Transport’s Amazon contract, delivering orders throughout the UK and Europe from its Nuneaton depot.
