Prohire spends £5m on fuel efficient rental fleet

The investment in the latest specification equipment from DAF, Iveco and Mercedes Benz comprises all key asset classes from 3.5-tonne integral vans to 7.5 and 18-tonne dry freight, alongside 18-tonne and 26-tonne single and multi-temperature refrigerated vehicles.

The new additions, which represent a 17.5% replenishment of Prohire’s rental fleet, will join the full range of light and heavy commercial vehicles available, including commercial vans, rigids, tractors units, trailers, alternative fuel vehicles and double deck trailers.

John Robinson, Prohire CCO, said: “We’re dedicated to operating a modern, highly specified, diverse rental fleet to support the flexible fleet requirements of our customers. This investment shows our commitment to supporting customers and fleet operators throughout the UK and is a precursor for future rental fleet procurement.

“In line with our ESG commitments, these latest specification vehicles are more fuel efficient, and we have also added more electric vehicles into our rental fleet in line with our commitment to lead the charge as the UK’s most trusted provider of sustainable vehicle hire.”
