EQUIPMENT rental specialist Multi Group has committed to a solus deal with Toyota for light commercial vehicles and cars.

The number of Toyota Dyna 300 short-wheelbase dropsides on its fleet has just doubled to 10, along with two Toyota Hilux EX Double Cabs and a Hiace 280 S. Five Avensis cars are now due for delivery, with a further three Dyna 300s and a 350 long-wheelbase version expected in May. More vehicles are likely to be ordered in September.

The Croydon-based company has 250 staff and runs a fleet of 80 vehicles – three-fifths LCVs and the rest cars for sales staff and management. Transport manager Peter Evans decided to switch to Toyota during a six-month trial with the Dyna 300 SWB.
