Kent haulier and logistics provider Salvatori has added seven Euro 6 DAF XF 460 FTG Super Space Cabs to its fleet.
In service since March, the new units are returning an average 9.6mpg at 44-tonnes GCW, which mark a significant improvement in productivity for Salvatori set against existing models in its 64-truck fleet.
The new DAF models are the first deliveries for the fruit-merchanting and pallet specialist since the mid-1980s and coincide with an imminent move to a new £5.5 million facility in Aylsham adjacent to its local DAF dealer Channel Commercials, with funds generated through sale of Salvatori’s current site and through additional medium- and long-term borrowing.
Channel Commercials will undertake regular servicing and maintenance work under a two-year R&M contract, although Salvatori will utilise its own workshops for minor repair work. Salvatori also has depots in Rochester and Calais.
With fruit merchanting providing a historical foundation for the Salvatori name, the company today provides a general haulage service specialising in building materials, soon to be operating out of its new location in Aylsham, Kent.
Based out of Rochester, a successful pallet distribution service is also provided through membership with the UK Pallets network. A Calais depot facilitates a good deal of work in France and the Benelux countries.
