Wales Environmental clears the way for more Mercedes-Benz Sprinters


Liquid waste management and drainage specialist Wales Environmental Ltd is running its first Euro 6 vans, a trio of Mercedes-Benz Sprinters which arrived via the Cardiff branch of Euro Commercials.



So impressed has the operator been with the customer-focused service it has received since acquiring its first Sprinter van from the manufacturer's South Wales Dealer in 2015, that it returned late last year with an order for three new vehicles.



Like their predecessor, all are Long-bodied, high-roofed models and the subject of cost-effective CharterWay contract hire agreements with Mercedes-Benz Financial Services. One is a second 5.0-tonne 516 CDI; the other two are 3.5-tonne 314 CDIs.


The new vans are impressively fuel-efficient, as well as easily meeting the latest round of EU emissions legislation thanks to their combination of advanced EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) and BlueTEC SCR (selective catalytic reduction) diesel technology. Exhaust gases are fed through a catalytic converter, where they are mixed with the AdBlue(r) additive which further purifies them before they exit the tailpipe.

Founded in 1980, fast-growing Wales Environmental provides a comprehensive portfolio of cost-effective and environmentally appropriate effluent disposal and drainage solutions. The company's headquarters are in Narberth, Pembrokeshire, and it supports some 3,000 customers located throughout the UK, among them high-profile names such as the Ministry of Defence, Welsh Water and Kelda Group.

The latest Sprinters are based at its Cardiff Drain Cleaning Company operation on the city's Alexandra Dock, and equipped with CCTV camera and high-pressure jetting systems, for identifying and clearing blockages.

In addition to its truck fleet, Wales Environmental runs 40 vans across its various locations, nine of which are Sprinters - prior to embarking on its new relationship with Euro Commercials, the company had sourced its Mercedes-Benz vehicles from another provider.

Transport Manager John Jones commented: "We're now choosing the Sprinter for its reliability and durability - experience has proved that even with 300,000 miles and more on the clock, the engines just keep on going and you don't get body components falling off, as you would with other makes of van. The Sprinter is equally popular with our operatives, who appreciate its comfort and reassuring array of safety systems."

Mr Jones continued: "We are now looking forward to building a long-term partnership with Euro Commercials. Its Cardiff branch is just down the road and the Dealer's sales service and after sales back-up are very good. Van Sales Executive Steve Cutting is a top guy who will always answer the phone to me, even at weekends, which counts for a lot.

"As far as maintenance costs are concerned, the contract hire deals allow us to budget with confidence, knowing there are no nasty surprises around the corner. Not only do these agreements represent excellent value for money, they also mean that every three years we'll get a smart new van.

"This appeals because image is very important to us. Given the Mercedes-Benz brand's reputation for quality, running vehicles with three-pointed stars on the front can only reinforce our own standing as a sector leader, committed to understanding each customer's individual waste management requirements and providing efficient services, within budget, to meet those needs."

Like all Mercedes-Benz vans, Wales Environmental's new Sprinters are backed by three-year, unlimited mileage warranties and MobiloVan cover, which includes free roadside assistance for up to 30 years, provided they continue to be serviced with the manufacturer's official Dealer Network.
