With the delivery of three 410hp Daf XF105 Super Space cab tractors, North Eastern hauliers Ramage Transport has made its first move to automatics. Robin Ramage, who runs the 80-vehicle Newcastle firm, tells Biglorryblog that speccing AS-tronic autos is intended to make the drivers' job easier and increase safety too. “We also wanted to provide our drivers with a premium vehicle, which will help us to recruit and retain high calibre drivers as well as presenting a good image to our customers,” he says. “The Daf XF105 certainly meets both requirements. It’s a superb looking truck and one that offers a very high level of driver comfort.”

And who would argue with that statement? What with a smart silver livery, twin air horns, roof-mounted ‘skylights’, and a full width sun visor, the XFs certainly look striking. They also sport Alcoa wheels and the company’s slogan ‘Rely on Ramage’ emblazoned across the front of the roof!
