| TNT have Invested in 300 New HGV's |
Following the recent announcement from TNT that is was investing in 300 new HGV’s for it’s
delivery service, are haulage and delivery companies finally starting to re-invest in their
fleets?
As the UK’s economic outlook is slowly improving, firms are
looking to update their fleets following a number of years of consolidation and
vehicle sale stagnation, with fuel economy and aerodynamic advantages being
high on the priority feature list.
According to SMMT ( HGV sales over 6 tonnes vehicles had
increased by over 25% compared to Sept ’12 with 3.5tonne to 6tonnne vehicles sales
increased by just over 6%. Absolute Deliveries have ourselves seen an uplift in
new vehicle deliveries, having delivered our highest number during September ’13.

The recent announcement by the Top 4 Supermarkets to slash their prices for fuel will only aid in the recovery and support the haulage industry further. Hopefully this shows that the economic outlook for the haulage industry is
improving and we’re looking for steady improvement through 2014 also.
