Earlier this year, Redcliffe Roadways purchased four M.A.N. 4 x 2 tractors primarily for long-distance haulage to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
Within the first six months, twenty round trips to the Middle East were completed without any maintenance problems on the M.A.N. vehicles. The first of the M.A.N.'S to be delivered completed five round trips between February and July and, overall, has covered some 160,000 miles over some of the worst roads in the world. Average time for the 8,500 miles journey was 28 days (over 300 miles per day). "These M.A.N.'s are really fantastic: I was personally involved in two Middle East runs and on both occasions, as soon as I started up to leave our premises, I knew that the M.A.N. would not let me down it didn't even need as much as an eggcupful of water throughout the entire journey. And when it comes to driver comfort, the M.A.N. is really something else a real home from home!".
