The company is in the process of taking delivery of 150 New Dailys and 93 Eurocargos. The family owned business, which maintains a fleet of 13,500 vehicles, has been operating for nearly 50 years and is a provider to the local government, facilities management, highways and utilities markets.
The New Daily is offered with a three year unlimited mileage manufacturer’s warranty to fleet customers. Similarly, the Euro 6 Eurocargo line-up is supported by a comprehensive two year / 200,000 mile manufacturer’s warranty.
‘We want vehicles which will spend the least amount of time in the workshop as possible, which translates into the minimum disruption for our customers,’ commented Jim Bullock from SHB’s vehicle purchasing team. ‘Both New Daily and the latest Eurocargo range benefit from extended service intervals, an excellent warranty package and proven driveline technology, which in turn helps to keep downtime to a minimum.’
Each new Euro 6 Eurocargo features a SCR (HI-SCR) system, which Iveco claims decreases NOx emissions by more than 95%. This SCR-only system utilises clean air to maximise combustion efficiency and minimise particulate matter without the use of EGR.
‘We have worked with Iveco for a long time and the Eurocargo has proven to be a great all-round vehicle, and particularly at home in busy urban areas,’ added Derek Lowis, national truck fleet manager for SHB Hire. ‘The tried and tested approach Iveco have used with their SCR system gives us absolute confidence in the reliability of their Euro VI engines.’
