Over the last 12 months the privately owned ASL Group has developed a partnership with Bell Truck and Van, which represents Mercedes-Benz in the north east of England. In addition to its core interests the ASL Group portfolio includes two transport operations, Hoggart Haulage and SM Haulage. Within the last year the dealer has supplied them with eight Actros 2548 variant tractors, which were delivered in two batches of four. Their first orders for Mercedes- Benz trucks were placed after trialling demonstration units. These proved significantly more fuel-efficient, while driver feedback was also positive. Hoggart Haulage specialises in lorry loader crane work as well as general transport. The subject of Mercedes- Benz Finance contract hire agreements, the trucks have flat-floored BigSpace cabs and 12.8 litre ‘straight sixes’, but with outputs of 350kW (476hp).
