Waste and Construction Specialist Buys “Next Generation” Haulier Vehicles

UK waste management specialist Mick George Ltd has invested in a fleet of new ‘Econic’ vehicles. It says that the innovative and unique design is thought to be the next generation in Haulier transport thanks to special features not included on traditional trucks in the construction industry.

The design quite literally puts drivers on a level playing field with other road users, pedestrians and cyclists. The lower seating position and panoramic views offered from the extended window space and fully glazed doors are advantageous when navigating through busy or complex city routes. In addition to the 90% increase in visibility, the benefits don’t end there. Improved fuel consumption, technical specification and ergonomic design make it far more environmentally friendly and pleasant on the eye.

A large proportion of the work undertaken by the company is completed in the City of Cambridge and other urban areas, forming many high profile partnerships such as that recently announced with the University of Cambridge. The commitment shown to community safety initiatives such as this has been a vital factor for the award of agreements to that stature, in addition to the high service level provided by the company.

Joe Gossage, Transport Manager at Mick George Ltd commented: ‘’The safety of our staff, communities, clients, contractors and the people we work alongside is of utmost importance at Mick George Ltd. Our new range of ‘City Safety Vehicles’ complement our existing fleet of vehicles and allows us to be a lot more targeted and efficient in our approach to safety for specific areas.’’
