£2m fleet investment

Simpson Bros, a founder member of Palletforce, has invested more than £2 million in its fleet so far this year. The haulage firm has taken delivery of 22 new Scanias fitted with telematics and ‘Active Predictive’ cruise control technology.

It has also added two DAF trucks, one in Simpson Bros livery and one in Palletforce livery, to its fleet since January. Some of the vehicles replace older, less fuel efficient ones and some are new additions to the 100-strong fleet. The investment comes just six months after the company moved to a bigger 22 acre site with 330,000 sq ft warehouse after winning several big storage contracts.
