Driving safety agenda

Safety is at the core of the new single-deck trailer specification. The new curtain-siders will have internal load restraint systems and will also be built to the exacting load securing EN standard. Additionally, all the trailers are fitted with a state of the art braking system to prevent runaways. Two of the five box trailers will have fitted tail-lifts further increasing City Link’s operational flexibility, a real differentiating feature in the marketplace.

This latest order is on top of the company’s investment in 86 bespoke double-deck trailers prior to the Christmas peak, which contributed to one of the most successful peak periods in the company’s history. The ongoing investment is part of City Link’s ambitious plan to replace its entire vehicle fleet, and means that 40% of the trunking fleet has now been refreshed.
