CARLSBERG UK HAS taken on 15 lsuzu NOR 7.5-tonners following a nine-month evaluation period in the urban delivery field.
All examples come with the company's EasyShifit transmission and a purposedesigned 3.7m Lawrence David dray body.
Andrew Davis, national fleet engineer at Carlsberg, says: "Before the arrival of these vehicles, we operated a fleet of vans out of each depot, which wasn't entirely suitable. The vans gave us the driving versatility, but not the payload. The urban vehicle project was geared towards establishing the practicality of running much larger vehicles in inner cities.
"In other words, operating small, robust, higher-payload dray trucks, but without losing the versatility and turning circle we had with the vans."
Carlsberg UK also arranged for all its delivery drivers to undergo a full drivertraining programme, organised by lsuzu.
