Scania has delivered the first of 165 trucks to Bidcorp as part of the foodservice provider’s strategy to strengthen its fleet.
The huge order includes 18-tonne P250 4x2 NAs, 26-tonne P280 6x2 NAs and tractor units and the trucks will be in service for the next decade, covering between 30,000 and 50,000 miles a year.
The deal represents one of Bidcorp’s biggest vehicle investment programmes for more than 10 years.
Kevin Lanksford, fleet and specialist vehicles sales director at Scania UK, said: “We are pleased to continue working with Bidcorp UK, and to be helping them achieve their goals with the addition of these 165 new vehicles.
“It’s testament to the strength between the two companies that we’re able to make this announcement.
“It showcases, not only, the quality of Scania’s products and aftersales service, but also the people who have and will make this deal a reality.”
Faye Reeve, head of procurement at Bidcorp UK, said: “These new additions will help us to carry out deliveries with increased efficiency, alleviating wait times and providing excellent service to our vast customer network.”
