Darlington Borough Council has taken delivery of 17 Fiat Scudo vans supplied by North East Truck & Van.

The vans have been fitted with internal racking and storage systems for use by the council’s building services team.

The fleet purchase was awarded through the Office of Government Commerce motor vehicle purchase framework agreement.

The vehicles are expected to cover 12,000 miles a year and will be maintained by the council’s in-house fleet engineers.
