Tiger Trailers wraps up major order from parcel delivery giant
Winsford-based Tiger Trailers has won a major order from Evri, the UK’s largest dedicated parcel delivery company, for 139 twin-axle van trailers.
The order is split into three batches, the first of which is currently nearing completion, with the remainder to be delivered by mid-Q4 ready for the UK’s Black Friday retail period followed by Christmas, during which time Evri expects to transport more than three million parcels.
Branded in Evri’s special 50th anniversary livery, its new articulated semi-trailers are set to attract plenty of attention on the road network, with a slightly differently stylised Evri logo on 25 of the vehicles.
David Landy, Evri’s Head of Fleet, said: “The new trailers look great and are
helping us celebrate our heritage and 50 years of courier deliveries.”
Darren Holland, Tiger Trailers’ Sales Director, said: “It’s fantastic that we are continuing to strengthen the relationship with the Evri team.
“At each enquiry stage we go through the same process of evaluation of the existing fleet to ensure that the final trailer design is perfect for the Evri operation.
“We are very proud of the relationship and the final trailers that we are supplying into their operation.”
Tiger and Evri share a focus on environmental sustainability, with solar panels and biodiversity areas installed at the trailer manufacturer’s factory and the parcel operator’s flagship superhub, respectively.
Joining the 200 trailers supplied in 2015 and the 189 trailers added in 2022, this latest order from Evri takes the operator’s Tiger Trailers fleet over the 525 mark.
