COMMERCIAL fleet and mobility services provider, Fraikin, is investing £35 million in 400 new vehicles to support its national short-term rental fleet, expanding and modernising its offering to customers across the UK.
The new additions, which are all compliant with Transport for London’s Direct Vision Standard (DVS) and equipped with Fraikin’s digital MYSMARTFLEET connected technologies package, now means that 80% of the company’s rental fleet will be under 12 months old.
Spread across vans, LCVs and HGVs, from a range of major manufacturers, the new vehicles feature a wide selection of body types, as well as specialist equipment. Fraikin has also committed to supporting customers looking to reduce their carbon footprint, adding a number of fully electric 3.5-tonners to the fleet.
Peter Backhouse, chief executive officer of Fraikin in the UK, says: “This significant investment clearly demonstrates the strength of Fraikin, our long-term commitment to the industry and our dedication to providing the very best mobility solutions for customers.”
