ABB, the global power & automation technology company, has
taken delivery of a further 26 commercial vehicles all supplied
and managed by Artegy, the provider of contract hire dedicated
to specialist commercial vehicles.
The 26 vehicles include 12 Iveco Daily 50C13’s with Versalift
ET38NF 14m access platforms, DAF LF Dropsides with Palfinger
cranes and a range of support vehicles. Bott completed all the
interior fitment requirements including shelving and storage
space for tools and equipment, allowing the engineers to work
in a well organised and safe environment.
Andy Wainwright, Sales Consultant for Artegy comments “The
additional vehicles are required specifically to fulfil the
Staffordshire Street Lighting contract awarded to ABB in 2003
by Staffordshire County Council. By understanding the requirements
of this contract and liasing closely with all the suppliers
involved, Artegy have been able to provide specification support
to ABB and successfully manage the build and delivery process”.
Artegy will be providing their specialist contract hire service
including design specification, legal compliance, full maintenance
and repairs, tyres and road fund licence management over a
5 year contract period.
Julie Haywood, a spokes person for ABB comments, “We
have made it our focus to ensure the technical standard of
our commercial vehicle fleet is at the highest possible level.
As a result we have reduced the contract term from 7 to 5
years to ensure our vehicles operate with the latest technology
available. Artegy have worked closely with us and their suppliers
to achieve this and as a result we are able to maximise our
fleet operation”.
The Head of Sales and Marketing for Artegy adds,
“We are delighted that ABB have chosen Artegy to supply
and manage these additional vehicles. We currently manage
a fleet of 75 vehicles for ABB, which has grown from 30 during
our 6-year relationship. We have an excellent understanding
of ABB’s operational and vehicle requirements and our
strong long term relationship ensures we continue to deliver
a reliable and efficient service”.
