Fox takes delivery of new Euro 6 DAF

Jun 16 | 2014

Fox Moving and Storage has taken delivery of a new super clean DAF 10 tonne van believed to be one of the first Euro 6 removals vehicles in the UK.




Managing Director Paul Fox said, “The new van’s dimensions and body type are identical to the one it replaced, but this time we have opted for a 10 tonne GVW. The 7.5 tonner has probably had its day in this industry because of the necessity for heavy container bodies, poor payload and the lack of car drivers (pre 1997) now able to drive them.”


The new DAF Euro 6 vehicle emits 91% less nitrous oxide (NOx) than the comparable Euro 3 engine in the 52 reg. Levels of particulate matter (PM) have improved 30% over the same period and as fuel consumption has been reduced, the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have dropped by 29%.
