Fleet boost
22nd January 2019

EMPLAS has continued its programme of infrastructure and customer service investment, with an upgrade of its fleet giving it six Mercedes-Benz HCV Actros trucks, powered by low emission Euro 6 engines.

In addition to lowering emissions, the additional five 18 tonne and one 44 tonne wagons each feature a hard-sided wall. The addition of a further new Mercedes Sprinter and Luton van to its fleet, further increases Emplas’ ability to react to customer demand.

Kush Patel, operations director said: “We have already seen some fairly substantial increases at the pumps this year. With fuel prices are forecast to continue to rise we have invested in a new and even more fuel-efficient fleet now, so that we don’t have to pass those costs on to our customers going forward.

“This sits as part of our wider strategy to keep down costs to our customers wherever we can. This focus on lean manufacturing is allowing us to offset the majority of price increases that we face as a manufacturer without passing them on to our customers.”
