The order includes four DAF XG 480 FTG and two DAF XG 530 FTG units, all rated at 44 tonnes with a 3.95-metre wheelbase and powered by the MX-13 engine, aimed at improving fuel efficiency in long-haul trunking operations.

The cab interior features luxury air-suspended seats, an infotainment system, a refrigerator, and a comfortable bunk. The vehicles were supplied by DAF dealer Ford & Slater in King's Lynn.

Josh Spencer, Electric and Sustainability Manager at Ford & Slater, said: "Over the past few years, we have built a strong working relationship with the Knowles team, collaborating closely to ensure the right vehicles are specified to support its growing operations." Knowles Logistics CEO Alex Knowles noted that this investment aligns with the company's commitment to fleet modernisation and reducing its environmental impact.

He added that the company is dedicated to continuously improving fleet efficiency and sustainability as part of its long-term net-zero ambitions.

As demand for efficient and sustainable logistics grows, Knowles Logistics stated it will continue to invest in its fleet to support its expansion strategy.
