TruckForce rolls out new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter fleet at CV Show

TruckForce, Goodyear Dunlop’s dedicated mobile service and breakdown network in the UK, made tracks straight back to Mercedes-Benz when it needed a new fleet of vans.

The 60 additional Sprinter 313 CDIs are now being delivered at a rate of one per day by Birmingham dealer Midlands Truck & Van.

Based across TruckForce’s 15 operating centres, which act as hubs for the organisation’s satellite locations across England and Wales, they are being used by technicians who repair, replace and service customers’ tyres at their premises or at the roadside.

Examples of these new vehicles will take pride of place at the Birmingham NEC next week (9-11 April), on Goodyear Dunlop’s Commercial Vehicle Show stand, which will be focused on the company’s TruckForce service.

The Sprinters are fitted with engine-driven PTOs which power on-board compressors, as well as Hope Safe-T-bar rear safety bumpers and roof-mounted flashing beacons.

TruckForce invested in its first 20 Sprinters two years ago. The outstanding reliability of those vans, allied to first-class back-up from the manufacturer’s commercial vehicle dealer network, were key reasons for the decision to place this latest order with Mercedes-Benz.
