The new vans will join Untha’s service and support fleet and will be used across the UK to service customers’ waste shredding and recycling operations.
The waste shredding technology company is based in Boroughbridge in North Yorkshire.
Ben Styles, service manager at Untha UK, said: “As the country’s leading supplier of waste shredding technology – with machines in operation across the UK – it is vital that we continue to offer an exemplary level of customer care, befitting of our shredder range.
“For us to ensure this customer service promise, we needed to work with a vehicle manufacturer that openly demonstrates the same customer-first ethos.
“These are the first MAN TGE vans that we have operated, but from the initial meeting with the regional TGE vehicle specialist, Richie Johnston, it was immediately apparent that MAN places a focussed emphasis on vehicle up-time, aftersales service, and customer support – which instantly caught our attention.”
The vehicles are based on the MAN TGE 3.180 with a standard wheelbase and are all front-wheel drive models.
They are powered by the latest generation 180 bhp, 4-cylinder, BiTurbo EU6d, 2.0-litre diesel engines matched to 6-speed manual transmissions. MAN TGE said that the engines are fitted transversely into the TGE van chassis.
The company added: “These innovative engines will offer [us] outstanding performance, high efficiency and a long service life, together with impressively low consumption and exceptional reliability.”
Styles concluded: “The safety and wellbeing of our service engineers is paramount to the success of our function, so we needed to refresh our fleet with vehicles that were safe, secure, and comfortable.”
