Having had the confidence to be one of the first to invest in Euro 6 technology
for its growing short term hire business, Prohire PLC (www.prohire.plc.uk), the commercial vehicle contract hire and fleet management specialist,
is extremely satisfied with its choice of new DAF LF and CF Euro 6 trucks, which
have been well received after their first six months in operation.
These vehicles are used exclusively for Prohire’s short term rental
division and are based across the UK, sometimes driven by a different driver
every day, and expected to cover around 500,000 km during their five year
lifecycle. They were supplied via Lancashire DAF in Preston, and as the
majority of Prohire’s customers operate in the haulage and distribution
sectors, it chose rigid bodies fitted with curtainsides by approved specialist commercial vehicle bodybuilder,
Martin Williams (Hull) Limited.
Phil Moon, Marketing Manager, DAF Trucks UK added: “With strong
durability, positive driver feedback and low running costs, DAF trucks are a particularly
popular choice for rental fleets for operators and end users alike, especially
for distribution and multi-drop work.
