LDV Maxus drives van hire forward

Cambridgeshire-based LDV dealership, Ford and Slater Peterborough, is celebrating after winning a fleet deal worth nearly £1 million at showroom prices.

East Mids Hire has taken delivery of 52 LDV vehicles in a deal made up of LDV’s award-winning MAXUS vans and recently launched 17-seat MAXUS minibuses.

The order consists of seven MAXUS 2.8 tonne, short wheel base vans and 25 MAXUS 3.5 tonne, long wheel base with extra high roof vans. The 20 MAXUS minibuses were specifically installed with air conditioning and tacographs for added driver and passenger comfort and safety.

Mustapha Jaeban, managing director of East Mids Hire, said that swift delivery was a key part to the decision making process: “Ford and Slater were both professional and efficient. The vehicles were quickly delivered, which for a busy business is great news. LDV’s brand awareness continues to grow and we’re happy to be promoting the new MAXUS even further.”

Darryl Feast, group franchise manager at Ford and Slater Peterborough, added: “LDV’s MAXUS vans are fit-for-purpose. Over the last 12 months the range has expanded even further allowing us to offer our customers a wider selection of vehicles to meet their business needs.”
