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. | |
