SCANIA Truck Rental celebrates its Silver Jubilee this year, having begun rental operations in the UK in March 1996 with a 200 strong fleet of 3-series trucks and four dealer network base rental offices.
Since then, the fleet has grown almost nine-fold to its current complement of 1,780 mostly New Generation Scania units and the number of rental points has more than doubled to nine. The sustained growth and success has led to the model being adopted by numerous other Scania markets worldwide.
Commented Martin Hay, managing director of Scania (Great Britain): “It provided the first taste of the Scania product to numerous operators, small and large. Indeed, we have seen fledgling businesses grow their companies using the flexibility Scania Truck Rental provides.”
The Scania Truck Rental fleet comprises a broad mix of models with the most popular fleet truck being the 44 tonne R450 6×2/2 mid-lift tractor unit.
