Wales brewery chooses Scania vehicles for distribution

The Felinfoel Brewery Company Limited of Felinfoel, which is the oldest brewery in Wales, took the delivery of three brand new, four-wheeled Scania distribution HGV / LGVs. The trucks have been given by the Scania dealer for Herefordshire, West Wales and South Wales on a five year full contract through Scania Finance.

All of the vehicles are models of the Scania P 235 DB4×2MLA, low chassis height that have Scania CP 16 day cabs. Each of these also run on a 1,050 Nm (774 Ibf.ft) torque/ 230 horsepower Scania DC9-16 Euro 5 EGR engine and have to be driven with an eight speed Scania G875 gear box.

Phillips Lewis, finance director of Felinfoel Brewery, said that the vehicles have been gained as part of the brewery’s rolling replacement fleet program. He added that they had operated an entire Scania HGV fleet previously and were convinced that the marquee was suited best for their operations. This was in terms of HGV driving performance over the tough local terrain, reliability and the service support provided from Silurian Scania.

The new vehicles are currently delivering to the 83 public houses owned by Felinfoel Brewery. These are located throughout Central and South Wales. Along with this, the firm also offers its service to a growing free trade business thanks to its collection of beers and various other licensed products.
