PFD Food Services adds to Isuzu fleet

PFD Food Services, which delivers fresh, frozen and dry goods to over 40,000 businesses daily across Australia, has recently added three new Isuzus to its fleet – a couple of FVD 1000 Long trucks with automatic transmissions and a FRR 600 AMT.

“The FVD 1000’s equipment is very user-friendly and allows us to meet our stringent safety requirements,” said PFD’s SA Transport Manager, Mark Davies. “We chose the added reversing camera option which works a treat with the truck’s digital audio visual equipment unit.

“The FVD 1000 truck includes an Isri 6860 air suspension driver’s seat – its extensive range of adjustments makes it perfect for long drives. Also aiding the ride is the Hendrickson airbag rear suspension.”

The South Australian division of PFD has a fleet of 66 Isuzus, 41 of which operate from its Adelaide branch. The trucks range from the smaller NPR 400 and NRQ 450s to the larger FRR 550, FRR 600, FVR 950, FVR 1400, FVL 1400 and FVZ 1400s.

PFD has one of the largest privately owned food service fleets in Australia, which operates from 61 branches across the country.

All the new trucks in the PFD fleet have purpose-built van bodies with fridge/chiller capabilities, while the van bodies are fitted with sliding divider walls which can expand or minimise the refrigerated area.
