YDS (UK) Limited, have taken delivery of their third Iveco Stralis Tractor Unit from Brighouse and Manchester based Northern Commercials. All three of the haulage companies’ new vehicles will be used for general haulage nationwide and will be using tri-axle curtainside trailers at a gross vehicle weight of up to 44 tonnes.
YDS (UK) Limited’s Managing Director, Richard Brown said:-
“Having taken advice from a couple of subcontractors who have run Iveco for a few years, we decided to trial the Stralis against other manufacturers. After excellent mpg and positive driver feedback we made the decision to purchase 2 tractor units. After 6 months trouble free running and an upturn in business we have added a 3rd without any hesitation.”
YDS purchased the vehicle through the Iveco Capital flexi-hire which included full maintenance, carried out by Northern Commercials with Brown stating:-
“The after sales service provided by Northern Commercials has been exemplary and we will be sure to visit them when we are next in the market.”
The AS440S45TX/P Iveco Stralis 6×2 Tractor Unit comes with Active Space Super3 High Roof Sleeper Cab. The spacious cab is specially designed to optimise driver comfort with standard features including heated air suspended 3-way adjustable driver’s seat with pneumatic adjustable lumbar support, slide out fridge, touch button menu controls and several storage lockers. All of these features were key in the decision to extend the relationship with Northern Commercials and with the Iveco brand.
The 6 Cylinder, 10.3 litre, FPT Cursor 10 engine is capable of producing up to 450hp. The 12-speed automated EuroTronic gearbox, is one of the features that means the vehicle meets the EEV emissions standard (Enhanced Environmentally friendly Vehicle), ensuring it is even more environmentally friendly than the current Euro 5 standard.
Like all New Iveco Stralis Tractor Units, they benefit from a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty.
