MORETON-IN-MARSH: Batsford Timber has replaced its aging Daf 7.5-tonne delivery vehicle with an Isuzu N75.190 with a tipper body.

The new vehicle has a specially designed commemorative livery marking the company's 21st anniversary celebrated this year.

The truck will deliver agricultural, industrial and domestic fencing, gates, poles, garden furniture and decking to local contractors and retail customers.

The Isuzu, specified with Easyshift automated transmission, air conditioning, and a 15ft aluminium Tipmaster body, is expected to cover 200 000 miles over 5 years before replacement.
