The Celotex Pink Ladies roll out.

Insulation specialist Celotex is rolling out a new transport fleet - known as the Pink Ladies because of their bright new livery, which augments the company's environmental strategy.

Celotex took a decision to replace its contract fleet, earlier than required, to a fleet of more efficient MAN trucks: with a unique exhaust gas management technology the new trucks will improve fuel consumption and reduce CO2 emissions.

Richard Pemberton, Chief Executive comments: "Given our product is volumetric, we aim to ensure maximum utilisation of each and every vehicle loaded for dispatch by Celotex and we are currently running at an impressive average of 93.42%.

We have also reduced our use of less efficient rigid vehicles by a staggering 83.75%.

These two measurements have actually helped Celotex reduce the number of actual vehicles loaded, which is better for the environment and the road networks.

Bio-fuels in LGVs is an area under development and we are monitoring the progress, as there is an opportunity to further reduce CO2 emissions and save fuel costs".

Magnus Group of Great Blakenham, Ipswich is also renewing its agreement as Celotex' official contract distribution provider.

Magnus Group is supplying Celotex with 20 Schmitz Cargobull 13.6 metre curtain sided trailers carrying the striking new corporate design, to be pulled by 15 new MAN TGA XLX tractor units.

In addition to the new distribution fleet, Magnus Group also provide dedicated site shunt vehicles, trailers and drivers.
