C&M Transport has taken delivery of a New Generation DAF XG+ 530 tractor unit, with the frozen, chilled and ambient haulage specialist reporting exceptional driver satisfaction with its premium specification trucks operating on time- and temperature-sensitive UK and European operations. A further XG+ unit is on order and scheduled for delivery in 2026.
The latest model-year '25 XG+ 530 – with DAF’s ‘FTG’ 6x2 mid-lift axle configuration – brings the fleet to 23 vehicles, including nine top-spec XG+ 6x2 tractors alongside legacy DAF XF units in a 60-40 split favouring DAF and underlining continued confidence in the built-in-Britain brand's operational fit and performance capability.
Specialising in frozen, chilled and ambient freight across UK-wide and international routes, C&M Transport, which celebrates its 25th anniversary next year, operates an intensive service requiring reliable, well-maintained vehicles to meet stringent just-in-time delivery schedules.
Each truck is assigned to a specific driver, fostering personal responsibility and care that keeps the fleet in pristine condition. The XG+ 530 has proved particularly popular, with drivers consistently report high satisfaction with the trucks’ quality, power dynamics and comfort. This positive feedback reinforces C&M's strategic investment in premium-spec vehicles, directly supporting service quality and customer satisfaction.
Drivers typically spend five nights out per week, reflecting the demanding nature of C&M’s long-haul operations.
