Canter steps up to deliver the daily bread
publication date: May 28, 2010
The Mitsubishi Fuso Canter rose to the occasion when
Newport-based baker D Gibbon & Sons needed a new delivery vehicle.
The company shopped around before choosing a 3.5-tonne Canter and is so
pleased it has since ordered a second, identical truck. Like its predecessor, the new vehicle will be supplied by Cardiff
Mercedes-Benz dealer Euro Commercials as the Canter range is sold and
supported by the German manufacturer’s franchised network. |  | D Gibbon & Sons’ Canter 3C15 is fitted with a 15ft
grp box body by Cardiff Truck & Bus. It has replaced a
similarly-sized vehicle by a rival manufacturer.
“We’ve had some problems with our previous vehicles so we decided to
look for an alternative,” says Transport Manager Ron Eason.
“The Canter had the right design, with a forward-mounted cab and a
truck-style ladder chassis, which means it can take the large body we
need while maintaining a relatively compact footprint on the road.
“Euro’s sales executive Luke Hardaker worked hard to
convince us the Canter would be a solid, reliable performer and the
dealer’s after sales set-up looks very impressive. | | | |
