Liquid waste management and drainage specialist Wales Environmental Ltd has taken delivery of three new Mercedes-Benz Sprinters.
The new vehicles join an existing Sprinter already supplied by Euro Commercials and form the firm’s first Euro 6-compliant vans.
Like their predecessor, the new additions are long-bodied, high-roofed models supplied under CharterWay contract hire agreements with Mercedes-Benz Financial Services. One is a second 5.0-tonne 516 CDI; the other two are 3.5-tonne 314 CDIs.
Wales Environmental provides effluent disposal and drainage solutions and the latest Sprinters are based at its Cardiff Drain Cleaning Company operation on the city’s Alexandra Dock, equipped with CCTV camera and high-pressure jetting systems, for identifying and clearing blockages.
In addition to its truck fleet, Wales Environmental runs 40 vans across its various locations, nine of which are Sprinters previously supplied from another provider.
Transport manager John Jones commented: “We’re now choosing the Sprinter for its reliability and durability – experience has proved that even with 300,000 miles and more on the clock, the engines just keep on going and you don’t get body components falling off, as you would with other makes of van. The Sprinter is equally popular with our operatives, who appreciate its comfort and reassuring array of safety systems.”
