Two leading commercial vehicle companies have entered into a new partnership in the provision of bespoke off the shelf welfare vehicles. Utilising the strengths of North East Truck and Van as a commercial vehicle dealer and O&H Vehicle Technology as a leading specialist vehicle converter, the agreement will see a number of vehicles manufactured over the coming months.
The initial vehicles that are being adapted as part of the agreement are white IVECO Daily 35S14A8 3520L wheelbase units. They feature a 136bh engine with automatic gearbox and have a 3.5 ton gross vehicle weight. Containing a high level of specification that includes DAB radio, air conditioning, leather steering wheel and heated electric mirrors, the units offer exceptional driver levels of comfort.
Leaving the North East Truck and Van headquarters in Billingham for the O&H Vehicle Technology factory in Goole, the journey will be followed through to the completed welfare vehicles coming off the production line.
Speaking about the exciting partnership, Mark Hughes, Fleet and Municipal Sales Manager said “ We look forward to working with such a renowned and established company as O and H Conversions, and together creating a bespoke vehicle solution for both existing and new customers over the coming weeks, months and years. We aim to offer the highest possible comfort and equipment levels to the end user, based on the durable Iveco Daily Chassis giving both reliability and performance when it is needed most. Our mutual aim is to offer product that is available immediately and ready to use for the end user, so that downtime on any given project is kept to a minimum and schedules are not affected, due to vehicle build times.”
Oliver North O&H’s Managing Director added “In the welfare sector we have always ensured our build quality provides the highest level of quality and finish, as ultimately, these units are designed to provide moments of rest and solitude for people often working in arduous conditions. Our units need to last countless years working in rugged environments, whilst providing the best whole life cost on the market. NETV have a similar ‘no compromise’ outlook with their range of vehicles and with the Iveco Daily, we can achieve all of our mutual objectives and more. Our partnership in this sector will provide a great platform.”
