Spicers’ wheels spinning to meet ISO14001

Spicers has taken delivery of six new MAN-manufactured TGA 18.444 environmentally-friendly trucks. The new vehicles use MAN’s patented EGR ‘Add Nothing’ engine technology so the trucks are very economic on fuel consumption without fuel additives, another initiative to reduce Spicers’ carbon footprint.

“The MAN trucks were carefully selected as the best fit for Spicers’ policy on transport and the environment. Spicers has been working on fleet and route rationalisation and has introduced a number of procedures to monitor and reduce emissions output and noise. MAN trucks also give us the option to convert to dual fuel, and we will be looking at this very seriously in the next 12 months,” says Head of Transport, Nigel Jakubowski.

“We also recycle our trucks, as far as possible, at the end of their working lives, and the new MANs offer a high percentage of recyclable parts.”
