The 56-vehicle fleet includes 12 Refuse Collection Vehicles, 20 Romaquip Kerb-Sort recycling vehicles, as well as a sweeper for street cleansing and vans to facilitate other council services such as car parks and enforcement.
SFS, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, has been vehicle partner with Teignbridge for over 20 years, since 2002. The current 7-year fleet replacement and maintenance contract was agreed in 2014 and was extended for an additional three years to enable the council to review its strategy on the decarbonisation of its fleet and workshops.
Chris Braines, Waste and Cleansing Manager, Teignbridge District Council: 'The new fleet will include the latest lower emissions technologies and assist us in providing the most efficient service we can, whilst improving our sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint. We have a long-standing and successful partnership with SFS who continue to provide a very professional service and a high standard of expertise.'
Bob Sweetland, Managing Director, SFS said: 'With this latest fleet replacement, we have provided more than 250 vehicles to Teignbridge District Council over the past 20+ years. We look forward to delivering the new fleet and to continuing our partnership with the council.'
