Low-kilometre, high-value: The ex-fleet advantage

Eurocold discusses the strategic benefits of utilising ex-fleet vehicles for your refrigerated transport needs

As businesses navigate increasingly unpredictable economic conditions, they’re focusing on ways to reduce costs without sacrificing performance. For companies in the cold-chain industry, fleet management is critical; one of the most strategic options today is purchasing ex-fleet refrigerated vehicles. These young, well-maintained trucks, equipped with reliable refrigeration units, offer businesses high quality at a reduced price. Here’s why choosing ex-fleet refrigerated trucks could be the smartest decision for companies looking to grow and remain competitive while maintaining temperature-sensitive logistics. 

Cost-Effective Choice
Ex-fleet refrigerated trucks offer exceptional value by delivering high performance at a much lower price than a brand-new vehicle. Acquiring new refrigerated trucks can stretch a company’s budget, while ex-fleet trucks free up capital for other critical areas. This allows businesses to meet their cold-chain transport needs without compromising financial stability. Eurocold’s approach to fleet solutions focuses on helping clients unlock growth while remaining cost-efficient, making ex-fleet vehicles an ideal solution.

Another advantage is avoiding the steep depreciation that occurs in the first few years of a new vehicle’s life. Ex-fleet refrigerated vehicles have already passed this phase, making them a financially viable option for companies wanting modern vehicles without the full financial burden.

Low Kilometre, High Value
The strength of an ex-fleet refrigerated truck lies in its low kilometre count and young age. These vehicles have been in service for a relatively short time, ensuring they remain in great condition. With fewer kilometres on the clock, they offer businesses confidence that they are investing in a solution with an extended lifespan compared to regular used trucks.

What sets Eurocold’s ex-fleet trucks apart is their well-maintained condition, coming from a reputable source. Every vehicle in Eurocold’s fleet has undergone regular servicing and maintenance, backed by a full-service history. This ensures peace of mind when making a purchase, as buyers know they are getting reliable, high-quality trucks.

Immediate Availability and Reliability
When a refrigerated truck breaks down, businesses cannot afford long delays in replacing it, especially with perishable goods on the line. Ex-fleet refrigerated trucks offer an immediate solution, allowing companies to replace vehicles quickly and keep the cold chain moving. These trucks are road-ready, having been professionally serviced, ensuring they are in excellent working condition with a proven track record.

While most refrigerated trucks include standby power as a standard feature, Eurocold’s ex-fleet trucks maintain this crucial function, ensuring seamless cooling operations, even when the vehicle is stationary. This adds flexibility for businesses that require consistent temperature control.

The ISOKIT Advantage
A unique feature that sets Eurocold apart is its exclusive use of the ISOKIT isothermal body in its refrigerated trucks. Eurocold holds exclusive distribution rights for ISOKIT in Australia, which uses the world’s best isothermal technology for superior thermal insulation. This provides greater energy efficiency and temperature control, essential for transporting temperature-sensitive goods. The ISOKIT technology offers customers unparalleled performance, ensuring goods are kept at optimal temperatures with minimal energy loss, something that other ex-fleet providers cannot offer.
