The recent purchase of Scottish waste management and recycling services specialist Oran Waste UK by the Irish Response Group has prompted a spending spree, with the firm announcing plans to buy 28 Mercedes-Benz trucks.
Two double-drive 26-tonne Mercedes Econic 2629 refuse trucks with Heil compactor bodies, and two 18-tonne Axor 1824s with Hyva skip loader bodies have been delivered by Bellshill dealer Western Commercial.
Still to come are 16 Actros 2544 Long Distance tractor units, six 32-tonne Actros 3241s with Hyva hook-lift bodies, and two 18-tonne Axor skip-loaders.
