Container logistics specialist, VKVP Haulage, continues its fleet upgrade programme with the recent delivery of twelve DAF XF530 tractor units. VKVP’s equipment investment strategy will see a further eighteen vehicles delivered by the end of September, bringing the total to 30 and reaffirming its commitment to fleet regeneration.

Supplied on contract hire by Ipswich-based Seven Asset Management, drivers of the new vehicles will want for nothing as each unit is equipped with a TV, microwave, fridge, mirror cameras and full recording DVS (Direct Vision Standard).

Mark Bennett, VKVP’s operations director, says: “For us, 2022 is all about laying sound foundations for our future and ensuring our drivers have the best truck for the job. The DAF XF530 delivers a high vehicle specification and an impressive fuel efficiency, vital with the current spiralling diesel costs and low CO2 outputs.”

Seven Asset Management’s managing director, Tom Dunnett, adds: “VKVP’s commitment to excellence made the DAF XF530 the perfect choice for its business. It is an award-winning, clean emission truck with a reputation of second to none. Each vehicle has been supplied on a four-year contract, including after-sales support, service and maintenance, tyres, breakdown assistance and 24/7 access to our support team, as part of the agreement.”

Established in 2014, independently owned, VKVP Haulage provides a comprehensive range of services, including nationwide container movements, shunting, transhipment, distribution, and storage.
