Coleshill-based LTS Global Solutions has taken delivery of eight DAF XG 530 FTG 6x2 trucks, as a part of the company’s ambitious growth plans.
The DAF XG 530 FTG 6x2 models feature a 530hp engine, a 6x2 axle configuration and a gross combination weight of up to 44 tonnes, making it well-suited to heavy, long-distance operations.
The new vehicles have also been fitted with leather seats, park cool and twin bunks, and are finished in a striking midnight blue.
The XG cab is designed with extended dimensions to improve aerodynamics and reduce fuel consumption, while also offering significantly more interior space and driver comfort than previous models.
As part of LTS Global Solutions’ strong focus on safety, all eight vehicles are fitted with advanced mirror cam systems, DAF corner view cam offering a wider field of view and are fitted with internal AI cameras which draws the drivers attention should they be tired or distracted, as well as a suite of features designed to meet the latest European General Safety Regulations.
These also include lane departure warning systems, left-turn audio alerts and radar technology, and reverse cameras looking at the fifth wheel.
Dave Hands, LTS Global Solutions managing director, said the company’s new DAF trucks are part of a broader programme of strategic investment designed to spearhead the company towards its ambitious growth plans.
LTS has set its sights on achieving 165% revenue by 2030 which will be underpinned by continued investment across its fleet, infrastructure and technology, as well as a clear focus on delivering scalable, high-quality logistics solutions for its growing customer base.
He said: “We’re continually investing in every area of the business to make sure we’re delivering the highest possible standards for our customers.
“It’s about making sure we’ve got the right assets in place to support our customers as they grow, while also improving efficiency and raising standards across the board. Bringing these new DAF trucks into the fleet is another step forward in that journey.
“They not only give us the performance and efficiency we need for long-distance operations but also provide a safer and more comfortable working environment for our drivers, which is hugely important to us as we’re firm believers in giving our staff the best tools available for their respective roles.
“Over the past 18 months, we’ve made significant investments across the business, from fleet and infrastructure through to technology, and that’s all geared towards us as a business achieving on our ambitious growth objectives – and the bedrock which that will sit on is ensuring we invest in every aspect of our operation to ensure we’re best-in-class in everything we do.”
