42 Events maltatoday, SUNDAY, 22 MAY 2016 Fleet expansion for Fahrenheit freight forwarders FAHRENHEIT Freight Forward- ers has introduced six new Iveco Stralis Euro VI trucks to their fleet this year, following another six truck increase in 2015 with the constant aim of providing clients with the best possible service in mind. The truck's capacity ranges from 19 to 44 tonnes with an evolved tector engine that regu- lates emissions due to its elec- tronically governed exhaust flap. The increase in engine power improves comfort thanks to its reduced engine noise and vibrations which naturally pro- vides a higher performance as well as reliable and cost-effective compact solutions. The engine range has been extended while simultaneously minimising fuel consumption and bettering en- gine breaking power to improve the overall safety of the user's experience. The post-system treatment op- timises consumption, reduces system complexities and main- tains the original engine power required by the vehicle. In all, a 2.33% reduce in fuel consump- tion has been noted, making this a cost-effective and envi- ronmentally friendly addition to Fahrenheit's already substan- tially large fleet of trucks. Fahrenheit Freight Forwarders has accumulated over two dec- ades of experience in the sector, and currently owns one of Mal- ta's largest privately owned fleet, with over 200 trailers including reefers, box, tilts, hanging gar- ments and more. The company offers a vast range of specialised services, including haulage in dry and reefer trucks as well as bonded and temperature controlled warehousing. Their aim is to constantly exceed the client's expectation through offering hassle free solutions.
