Ryder supplies 78 Sprinter vans for Costa Coffee contract

摘要

Logistics business Kuehne + Nagel has taken delivery of a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter refrigerated van fleet for use on its contract with Costa Coffee. The 314CDI Sprinter chassis cab vans are all supplied on lease by Ryder, which also worked with the operator and converter Solomon Commercials on a bespoke design to enable the vans to collect waste from the Costa Coffee outlets, as well as supply coffee, fresh produce and consumables. The vehicles have custom 3.35m insulated box bodies with internal loading and triple rear doors, and are equipped with Carrier Transicold Xarios 350 refrigeration units. A specially designed body, with a false floor with integrated lockers, enables segregated waste to be taken away from the outlets as part of the daily delivery process.
