Just-in-time delivery firm GBA Services has completed the first phase of an ambitious fleet replacement programme, with the arrival of 20 new, fuel-efficient Mercedes-Benz vans.
The Sprinter 316CDIs, which were supplied to the Preston-based firm by Blackburn dealer Ciceley Commercials, are the first to wear the operator's new vinyl wrap livery, from AST Signs of Penrith.
Sales and development director Wayne Smith says: "We chose Mercedes-Benz vehicles initially, because of their excellent reputation for reliability and ability to take high mileages in their stride, as well as the manufacturer's back-up cover throughout Europe."
And he adds: "These latest Sprinters are even better than the models they've replaced. The 163hp Euro 5 engines are impressive: they're smooth and powerful yet also offer excellent fuel economy and first-class 'green' credentials."
