The DAF brand of trucks, exclusively represented locally by United Equipment Co. (UNEC) Ltd, a subsidiary company of Bonnici Group, is becoming increasingly respected in Malta where a number of leading local companies have chosen to invest in DAF models for their growing fleets. Attrans is in fact the latest transport and logistics company to invest in DAF through the acquisition of four new XF models which have just been delivered completely dressed in the company's livery.
"We are proud that Attrans have chosen to work with us for the first time and we are sure that this investment will be the start of another successful professional collaboration," said John Bonello from UNEC.
DAF Trucks N.V is a subsidiary of PACCAR Inc. and is considered by the industry as one of the most successful truck manufacturers in Europe.
"The company does not only build near-perfect trucks but through its local and international dealer network, helps clients choose the right vehicle for their operations. Through our company UNEC, we have been representing DAF in Malta for almost ten years, providing the best equipment and service in the industry through a meticulous choice of brands, highly motivated trained staff and expert management," said John Bonello
Philip Attard, Managing Director of Attrans said "We believe that continuous investment in our fleet enhances our competitive advantage and helps us provide the best possible transport solutions to our clients. This is why we chose to expand our fleet with these four new DAF trucks. Our fleet today is currently made up of 45 tractor units and over 350 trailers, a fleet that is currently increasing by around 30 units per year. This new fleet will mean that Attrans can continue to consistently provide the highest quality service to our customers."
DAF's XF model chosen by Attrans is considered a benchmark in long-distance road transport. Designed for maximum transport efficiency with a newly developed Euro 6 12.9 litre engine, the new trucks are built on a completely new chassis which is complemented by a new and attractive exterior design. Together with a revamped interior, this new model offers operators and drivers the best handling within the most comfortable environment.
