Truline upgrades its fleet with Prohire

In a major fleet renewal programme, specialist business parcel carrier, Truline, has upgraded 109 vehicles of its 500-strong fleet with its fleet provider Prohire, and its alternative fuels division Progreen.

Over a five-month period, Prohire replaced Truline’s 45-strong HGV fleet with the latest fuel-efficient diesel technology in the form of 13 DAF new generation FTG XF 44-tonne tractor units and 33 new 7.5-tonne, 12-tonne and 18-tonne diesel trucks. The rigid HGVs are delivering a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions, whilst the tractor units are achieving a 25% reduction.

Truline’s fleet of light commercial vans has also been updated with the addition of 58 new long wheelbase Maxus Deliver 9s. Meanwhile, Progreen has supported Truline in adding six more Ford E-Transit E425 vans to its EV fleet as part of a rolling programme to replace existing diesel vehicles.

Steve Turner, Truline’s head of fleet, said: “This latest fleet renewal is an example of the strong partnership we have built with Prohire. We work in tandem to make sure we have the most fuel-efficient solutions on fleet, and that we transition to the next generation of alternative fuels for each vehicle class as they become available.”
