The new fleet was supplied by Brian Currie, DAF Dealer in Milton Keynes, with fleet management and maintenance support packages supplied by Hexagon Leasing. Following extensive product evaluation, and with the benefit of excellent operational familiarity with current DAF vehicles, Yusen Logistics (UK) selected the market-leading DAF brand based on proven fuel economy, environmental credentials, strong residual values, driver appeal and outstanding nationwide dealer support – led by Brian Currie Milton Keynes and Northampton.

The vehicles are already in service from Yusen Logistics’ 20 UK locations and are expected to cover 75,000 miles per year. Operations comprise primarily of deliveries of white- and brown-goods both to and from distribution centres and major retail outlets. “The overall DAF package represents a solid investment for us,” said Robin Tate, Head of Fleet, Facilities & Procurement at Yusen Logistics (UK), “there were a number of key features in the deal that we required and DAF, again, has managed to deliver on all key operational parameters. Good fuel economy, reliability and first-rate dealer support are key attributes, of course,” he said, “but our drivers are instrumental in the acquisition process, and they invariably prefer DAF for all round comfort and driveability.”   [![DSC_1042](https://blog.daf.co.uk/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/webversion-Nov-24-2020-04-33-22-26-PM.jpeg)](http://tracking.vuelio.co.uk/tracking/click?d=IsmbMIYnKpM_yDODsVGSu3XHdKLFe3yGDu6UC3ImR5W4625rUL92OtzLaQXpcrWs1wiqzyNzSv9hSWGGl6fuOgqEJ6RYczP_lz207toNspUpP6bTh-KGjF7r_7_1_HY6u9E_oMRnyE85unpiu-aajx6kjtX4lBg2CrutFIJu3tW5XFsQlFKA9c4IABJkkOkXZneG4h2FQ5xXz2dUb5I2kZs1) #### Recommended Articles [![UK Dealers Win at DAF Intl Dealer Awards](https://blog.daf.co.uk/hubfs/DAF-Melia_D2_F_104.jpg)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/uk-dealers-win-dealer-awards) ###### [UK Dealers Win at DAF Intl Dealer Awards](https://blog.daf.co.uk/uk-dealers-win-dealer-awards) - February 6, 2023 [![First DAF CF Military trucks delivered to Belgian Armed Forces](https://blog.daf.co.uk/hubfs/01.%20DAF%20CF%20Military%20trucks%20-%208x8%20vehicles%20for%20Belgian%20Army.jpg)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/cf-military-vehicles) ###### [First DAF CF Military trucks delivered to Belgian Armed Forces](https://blog.daf.co.uk/cf-military-vehicles) - December 7, 2022 [![DAF Driver Magazine Spring 2022](https://blog.daf.co.uk/hubfs/For%20DAF%20blog.jpeg)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/daf-driver-magazine-spring2022) ###### [DAF Driver Magazine Spring 2022](https://blog.daf.co.uk/daf-driver-magazine-spring2022) - July 1, 2022 Search articles ### Topics - [News (78)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/news) - [Lifestyle (33)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/lifestyle) - [Events (18)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/events) - [New Generation DAF (14)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/new-generation-daf) - [Electric (11)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/electric) - [Videos (9)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/videos) - [Awards (5)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/awards) - [Press Releases (5)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/press-releases) - [Know Your Truck (4)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/know-your-truck) - [Social Media (4)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/social-media) - [Driver Challenge (3)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/driver-challenge) - [Driver Talk (2)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/driver-talk) - [The CV Show (2)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/the-cv-show) - [Tips & Tricks (2)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/tips-tricks) - [Truckfest (2)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/truckfest) - [Leyland Trucks (1)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/leyland-trucks) - [PACCAR (1)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/paccar) - [Parts (1)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/parts) - [Ready to Go (1)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/ready-to-go) - [Technicians (1)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/technicians) see all ### Most recent articles ### Subscribe to the blog updates ### Recent Posts [Winter Tips for Daily Walk-Around Checks](https://blog.daf.co.uk/winter-tips-for-daily-walk-around-checks) - 23 September, 2020 [DAF Trucks UK Reaches 100k Facebook Followers](https://blog.daf.co.uk/100k-facebook-followers) - 23 September, 2020 [DAF Shines at the APSE Scotland Fleet Seminar](https://blog.daf.co.uk/apse-scotland-fleet-seminar) - 23 September, 2020 [Are you Made For DAF?
