Some deliveries mean a little more than others.
Today we’re celebrating the handover of Tomsetts Distribution’s first fully electric DAF 12 tonne vehicle, supplied on contract hire by Centurion Truck Rental and delivered by DAF dealership Group.
For Managing Director, Andrew Tucknott, this is a significant step forward in a sustainability journey that has seen the family-run business commit to becoming carbon neutral by 2030 and Net Zero by 2040.
For Centurion, it’s also one of our first EV contract hire solutions, making this a proud moment for our team as we continue supporting customers who are looking at practical ways to reduce emissions without compromising operational performance. Robert Morgan, Key Account Manager met with Andrew today as he received the striking new vehicle.
What makes this handover particularly special is that it’s built on shared values. Both businesses believe in long-term relationships, doing the right thing and investing in the future.
It’s so exciting to see ambition turning into action.
Congratulations to everyone involved at Tomsetts Distribution, Centurion Truck Rental, HTC Group and DAF Trucks UK . We can’t wait to see the truck out on the road serving customers across Sussex and beyond.
Let us know if you spot it!
