Iveco has won an order with logistics firm KN Drinks Logistics,
a UK subsidiary of US-headquartered Kuehne + Nagel Group, for the
supply of 164 Iveco Stralis tractor units.
As part of the deal – the largest Iveco Stralis order ever
placed by a customer in the UK – Iveco’s captive arm Iveco Capital
will supply the tractors on a three year contract, which includes
full repair and maintenance.

Trevor Hewitt, group fleet engineer at Kuehne + Nagel, said:
“Our first Stralis order three years ago followed an extensive
evaluation of vehicles from a number of different
manufacturers.”
“The decision to replace like-for-like follows the proven
performance of the vehicles in our fleet, combined with the
competitive whole-life costs of the Stralis across the three year
contract.”
The Stralis tractor units are plated at 44 tonnes and replace
149 similar models, which Iveco supplied to the drink distribution
company in 2006.
KN Drinks Logistics will use the vehicles for the bulk movement
of beverages from production sites to the company’s five regional
distribution centres, as well as to large multiple retail
customers.
