The first of 14 new vehicles have been added to the Steve Porter Transport fleet, which is now 33 vehicles strong.
Steve Porter Transport, which is based in both Cowes and Fareham, serves the South of England, the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands as part of the KNP Logistics group.
Investment has been made in a Mercedes-Benz Actros 1824 rigid and 2x DAF (2022) CF370 26 tonne.
The Mercedes is the first in the fleet with MirrorCam digital mirror replacement system. Initially, the MirrorCams were met with reservation, however, the drivers were quickly convinced by the benefits of the enhanced side windows view, manoeuvring and sideguard assist.
The DAF CF370s cantilever tail lift with safety rails is also a first into the Porter fleet. The DAF’s are supported by DAF MultiSupport and DAFAid for breakdown support.
Ian Beattie, KNP Group Managing Director, has said:
“With global build rates constrained, sourcing additional vehicles has been challenging. The ongoing support of our suppliers has allowed us to introduce Mercedes and DAFs into the Steve Porter fleet giving us more options to meet the demands of our customers.
“We look forward to seeing both the economic and safety benefits of the new vehicles.”
