JJX Logistics has taken delivery of an Iveco S-Way rigid accommodate a wide variety of cargo types of up to 15 tonnes in urban areas.
The 6×2 vehicle is equipped with a 460hp Cursor 11 diesel engine, as well as a rear lift axle, which reduces tyre wear on return trips and improves manoeuvrability.
Additionally, rear air suspension has been specified which further improves the ride and handling for when the truck is carrying sensitive cargoes.
The Driver Comfort Plus package further optimises driver comfort with door roller blinds, automatic air conditioning and high comfort seats.
To ensure the truck is self-sufficient when loading and unloading at customer sites, a Palfinger forklift has been mounted on the rear of the Fred Smith and Son-built curtain-sided body.
The vehicle can lift up to two tonnes and is able to load and unload cargo from the back.
It features a full Direct Vision system, Premium Style Pack with aluminium air intakes, pneumatic horn, external sun visor, infotainment system and Aero Plus pack that incorporates a roof spoiler and front cab corner fins.
Transporting a wide range of cargos for over 25 years, JJX Logistics is licensed to carry all nine classes of hazardous materials and is TAPA certified for high-value assets.
This new vehicle is expected to cover between 80,000 and 100,000 miles each year.
Managing Director John Joseph Donovan said: “We eagerly awaited the truck to come down the supply chain, but now it’s here we are over the moon with it.”
