The new vehicles join Cemex’s 400-strong fleet in the UK which serve its aggregates and cement business and cover 90million km per year. The company also operates over 500 ready mixed concrete trucks.
Cemex has said that the new Man fleet will offer fuel saving of up to 5% per gallon, reduce CO2 emissions and improve carrying capacity. The new trucks also feature a number of safety improvements including ‘Sidescan’ to reduce the risk to cyclists.
