Article - Boat tails save 8% for Whites

White & Co has just bought two new ‘boat tailed’ Scanias for its depots in Dunfermline and Plymouth.

The chassis were supplied by West Pennine Trucks and the bodies build by Unique Van Bodies in Warrington. Ian Palmer, CEO of White & Co, said that in previous tests with a 15 tonne MAN, he had measured an 8% fuel saving from the boat tail design.
