Scania (Great Britain) has won an order for at least 2,250 trucks from Consortium Purchasing, an operation led by William Stobart, executive chairman of Greenwhitestar Acquisitions (which owns Eddie Stobart, The Pallet Network and iForce), and Allan Jenkinson (owner of A W Jenkinson Forest Products). It represents the Swedish truck maker’s largest ever European order for civilian trucks.
The trucks, a mix of P-, G-, R- and S-series tractors and rigids, and for the first time an unspecified number of multi-wheelers, will be supplied by Scania dealers Haydock Commercial Vehicles and Graham Commercials over the coming two years. They will be supplied on full R&M contracts, with all work carried out within the UK Scania service network, and will remain in service for up to three years.
