Royal Mail has added 40 MAN TGS tractor units to its fleet - the first time an MAN tractor has appeared in the distinctive red. The TGS 18.400 4x2 BLS units are already in operation, running out of Royal Mail's Birmingham mail centre.
Steve Walker, head of distribution at Royal Mail, says the potential reduction in running costs offered by MAN's EGR 'Add Nothing' engine technology ticked all his boxes.
"Fuel
economy has always been the largest running cost and, with today's price of fuel at an all-time high, we'll take a look at any potential improvement in consumption. With no costs and complexities of AdBlue to worry about, MAN's a simpler solution."
