Andyfreight
Andyfreight is enjoying a welcome increase in fuel efficiency from its latest Mercedes-Benz Actros trucks, with average returns of 11.27mpg. The Black Country haulier has added another three tractor units to the six supplied by dealer Midlands Truck & Van last year, and will be taking delivery of a further eight. Andyfreight commissioned its first six Actros from the current model generation in 2020. Despite being fitted with conventional mirrors rather than the acclaimed MirrorCam system, those trucks have consumed significantly less diesel and are returning 11.9mpg. Now, the operator’s MirrorCam equipped Actros are putting even more ‘clear blue water’ between the best and the rest, with returns up to 12.03mpg. As well as increasing safety, MirrorCam boosts economy, M-B estimates by up to 1.5%, through reduced wind resistance. The Mercedes-Benz truck’s popularity with the operator’s drivers, coupled with Midlands Truck & Van’s aftersales support, explain why Andyfreight is replacing other vehicles with more Actros.
