News from Scania: Leading Northern Ireland transport operator McBurney Transport has placed an order for a Scania Golden Griffin, the Limited Edition flagship truck being produced by Scania to celebrate its first 50 years in the UK.
Ballymena-based McBurney Transport will celebrate its own golden jubilee in 2015 and to commemorate the occasion has opted for Golden Griffin number 50 from the Scania anniversary range, which is limited to just 50 examples.
“I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate my own 50 years in business than by buying Golden Griffin number 50,” says McBurney Transport’s Managing Director, Norman McBurney OBE. “It is now more than four decades since I purchased my first Scania and over the years the marque has played an important role with our fleet. I would like to congratulate Scania on reaching its own UK half century and now look forward to celebrating our own 50th anniversary.”
Every Golden Griffin model is equipped with Scania’s luxury Griffin pack and a wide array of extras ranging from a kitchenette to a TV/DVD player. In addition, three luxury Scania packages – Black Leather V8, Prestige and Driver – are also fitted, thereby assuring the owner and driver the ultimate in terms of specification, comfort and safety.
All Golden Griffins will also feature a wide range of active and passive safety features, including Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control and Advanced Emergency Braking, and each truck will be equipped with a state-of-the-art entertainment system.
