New, Safer Vehicle Added to the IHC Fleet

Recently we’ve taken delivery of a brand-new Renault truck 8×4 chassis fitted with a 9m³ Schwing Stetter mixer for IHC PBB Haulage Ltd.

This latest addition to the fleet brings together performance, efficiency and enhanced safety features, helping us continue to deliver reliable service while prioritising the wellbeing of our drivers and other road users.

A key highlight of the new vehicle is its advanced safety technology, which includes an anti-roll away handbrake system and side detection with automatic braking designed to protect vulnerable road users. The side detection system is currently being trialled across the IHC fleet this year and is capable of automatically applying the brakes if a cyclist is detected while the vehicle is turning left, an important step forward in improving safety in busy urban environments.

The mixer itself is both robust and lightweight, helping to maximise payload efficiency while maintaining durability for day-to-day operations. It is also fitted with all-round working lights to improve visibility during low-light conditions, supporting safer loading and deliveries at all times of day.

We’re looking forward to seeing Paul put this fantastic new vehicle to work in Leeds city centre and wish him many safe miles ahead.
