Abbey Logistics has taken delivery of 12 Iveco S-Way tractor units to support a customer in the north east. 

The new S-Way model is Iveco’s latest generation heavy truck and a direct replacement for their Stralis model.

Abbey’s new contract is to transport Category 3 animal fats for use in renewable fuels, a rapidly growing sector that produces a renewable diesel alternative from residues from food industry and agriculture industries and can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 90%, compared with conventional diesel.

Peter Cunningham, Head of Liquid Operations at Abbey said:“Abbey has significantly increased operations in non-food grade transport in recent years and this latest contract demonstrates our ability to support large customers with technically challenging requirements.

“Continuous investment in our fleet provides our customers with a highly reliable service and ensures our drivers have a comfortable and practical space to work in while on the road.

“We’ve had fantastic feedback from our drivers about the new Iveco trucks and we look forward to further investment in our non-food operations as this area of the business grows.”
