Transporters switch to Mercedes

Chilled and frozen food transporter, BW Refrigerated Couriers has started to switch its panel van fleet to Mercedes Sprinter vans, each with 100% Somers ATP-certified refrigerated panel van conversions.

BW has recently added a further six medium wheelbase Mercedes Sprinter vans and one long wheelbase Sprinter van to its 20-strong panel van fleet and all are Somers refrigerated van conversions featuring GAH Super Rapier SR351F low-temperature refrigeration systems.

The twin compartment bodies within the Sprinter vans have been specified with a front frozen compartment that operates to 25°C whereas the rear chilled compartment can operate down to 0°C, with the bodies designed to handle up to 20 door openings per eight-hour distribution cycle.

All the new Mercedes Sprinters, with Somers refrigerated conversions, are working on regular courier contracts predominantly in the Midlands, south Wales, London and across the south of England.

The vehicles are delivering and collecting samples and pallets on behalf of food producers, manufacturers, processors and wholesalers, as well as more diverse operations such as food samples for supermarket headquarters, photographic and television studios.
