Mobility solutions expert Fraikin has extended its partnership with laminates manufacturer Rearo delivering eight new vehicles backed by a full-service contract hire agreement. Building on a five-year relationship, the deal reflects the customer’s confidence in Fraikin’s services, with Rearo opting to forgo a tender process which first brought the businesses together in 2021.
The new five-year agreement includes 3.5-tonne Renault Trucks Master Red Edition vans mounted with JC Payne curtainside bodies, which replace older assets. Their arrival ensures Rearo’s 12-strong vehicle fleet – also comprising a 26-tonne Mercedes-Benz Actros and three 7.5-tonne DAF XB rigids – remains exclusively Fraikin-supplied.
Robert Lis, transport and fulfilment manager at Rearo, said: “Partnering with Fraikin for the past five years has allowed us to focus on what we do best while leaving the complexities of vehicle management to a trusted specialist. With its help, we have complete clarity on costs and the reassurance that every aspect of maintenance and repair, whether scheduled or unexpected, is taken care of.”
The new vehicles have been supplied with all servicing, repairs, road fund licensing, regular safety inspections, annual MOT testing, tyre management, roadside assistance and 24/7, 365 customer support – creating a full-service offering from Fraikin that guarantees Rearo total peace of mind.
The vans also benefit from Fraikin’s full suite of MYSMARTFLEET connected technologies, which includes real-time data and analysis on metrics such as distance travelled, fuel efficiency and driver behaviour. With the company’s maintenance portal, FRAIKinVIEW, Rearo can also access accurate predictive maintenance scheduling, with the ability to monitor and track all work as it’s carried out.
