CONTAINER transport company Container Swinglift Services (CSS) has teamed up with DAF Trucks Australia to emphasise its commitment to a cleaner environment.
CSS is the first in Queensland to install the new Euro 5 low emission engine, one of the cleanest automotive diesel engines from PACCAR.
CSS CEO, Carl Marchese says it’s a win-win situation.
"We want to be proactive and if there's an opportunity for us to do the right thing by the environment, we will," Marchese says.
"Additionally, we have a number of significant, blue chip global clients who look very favourably on providers who are genuinely committed to a programme that will reduce emissions."
CSS managing director, Maria Tapper says the decision to integrate PACCAR's new high-performance, Euro 5 series low-emission engine into the CSS fleet is in line with clients demanding exceptional customer service and equipment standards.
"DAF trucks offer us the highest productivity, environmental and occupational health and safety standards, all features that our drivers, our customers and I appreciate," she says.
According to CSS, it runs a combination of fleets including B-doubles and single loaders, with many of the vehicles operating around the clock on two shifts a day for up to five years or for a maximum of 500,000kms.
The company also says a majority of its fleets are dedicated to delivery and collecting containers in the Brisbane metro region but also run shifts to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
