The Isuzu Forward N75.190 7.5 tonne curtainsided-bodied rigid is now operating out of the company’s Northern depot in Leeds and is also the first of the company’s distribution vehicles to carry the newly designed Pedigree Wholesale corporate livery.
The company anticipates that the vehicle will cover between 80,000 and 100,000kms per annum over a six-year working life. Currently the vehicle is delivering products to customers throughout North Wales, the North of England and right up to the Scottish Borders.
This latest addition to the Pedigree Wholesale fleet was supplied by local Isuzu dealer TIM Commercial Vehicle Services at Ilkeston.
Commenting on the company’s acquisition of the Isuzu, Pedigree Wholesale’s managing director, Steve Brown, said: ‘After careful consideration, we felt that the Isuzu 7.5 tonner ticked all the right boxes for us concerning emissions, fuel economy, payload, whole life costs and reliability. We feel it will be an exciting and productive addition to our 27-strong vehicle fleet.’
‘Sporting the new Pedigree Wholesale livery, the first Isuzu in its fleet really does stand out well,' added Keith Child, marketing director, Isuzu Truck UK.
'It will certainly help to reinforce the company’s market presence out on the UK roads. With an intensive distribution-cycle planned over its working life, the proven attributes of the Isuzu 7.5 tonner will certainly come into their own and give the company the level of performance and reliability that it’s looking for from such a vehicle.'
