AFI-Rentals has enhanced its logistics capabilities by adding eight new Scania delivery trucks to its fleet.

The investment into six Scania P420 32-tonne and two Scania P320 26-tonne trucks is the latest in a series of delivery fleet upgrades, bringing the company’s total spending on Scania products to over £5m.

The new trucks are equipped with state-of-the-art bodies from vehicle body builders PPS Commercials, offering the latest access specifications to meet the evolving needs of AFI’s diverse customer base.

The addition of fold-forward ramps, designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, underscores AFI’s commitment to sustainability. Other safety enhancements include edge fall protection, side walkways, and advanced safety lighting.

Nick Higgins, Chief Operating Officer at AFI Rentals, said: “This latest investment in Scania trucks reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering the best possible service to our customers. The durability and reliability of Scania vehicles translate directly into operational efficiency and enhanced service levels. By adopting advanced features like fold-forward ramps, we’re boosting fuel efficiency and actively reducing our environmental impact, an important priority for us and our customers.”

This fleet expansion is part of AFI’s broader strategy to ensure the business remains equipped to handle growing demand while prioritising safety, efficiency, and sustainability. As AFI continues transitioning its delivery fleet to Scania trucks, customers can expect even greater reliability and responsiveness in their service experience.
