NEW FLEET I

Following a test drive at the launch event, one of the first orders for two new 510hp IVECO S-WAYs to be registered in Longford were delivered to N McCormack, Kenagh, County Longford. John Keogh, Sales Manager at Longhaul Commercials, who conducted the deal explained: “After test driving the new demo S-Way at our launch event, here in Tullamore, Niall McCormack and his crew were so impressed that they decided to order two 510hp top-spec tractor-units on full air. These are among the first orders for the new S-WAY and the first two units to be registered in Longford. We thank Niall for his faith, patience and trust in us to deliver these two spectacular trucks. To say we’re proud of how they turned out is an understatement. We look forward to meeting them on the road.

Tommy on track with new IVECO Trakker tipper!

Having operated and driven many different truck makes and models over his thirty-five plus years in the sand and gravel supply business, Tommy Graham is really impressed with his new IVECO Trakker, recently purchased from Clive Gethings, Gethings Garage Ltd., Enniscorthy, County Wexford. The Prosperous, County Kildare based operator who currently runs a mixed fleet of Volvo, Scania and Renault trucks, said that the new Trakker 410hp 8x4 with Thompson tipper body is ‘something different to add to the fleet’.

In the past Tommy was a loyal fan of Hino and always admired Magirus Deutz 8-wheelers with which the Trakker has strong heritage links. It is powered by Iveco sister company FPT’s 13-litre Cursor 13 Euro 6 diesel engine and mated to ZF’s AS-Tronic transmission.

Tommy added that a big thanks must go to David and Frank from Mayfield Body Paint & Graphics, Paul and Sean from Kildare Auto Electrical and also Clive Gethings for doing a great deal.
