Fleet fleet keeps Cannon firing on all cylinders December 1st 2006 With new Mitsubishi Fuso Canters amid its ranks,Cannon Consumables is making speedier,more environmentally friendly city deliveries Cannon Consumables – part of the UK's hygiene and environmental specialists Cannon Hygiene – has added new 'street wise' delivery vehicles to its fleet to speed up inner city deliveries, reduce fuel consumption and make driving more relaxed for its delivery team.The first four new Mitsubishi Fuso Canters have now arrived at Cannon Consumables where they will bring benefits of flexibility and efficiency to urban deliveries as well as to the company's long distance distribution requirements. Cannon Consumables delivers hygiene products to customers every hour of every day across the UK.With a workload ranging from urgent individual parcels to consignments weighing several tonnes, the company has selected the Canter vehicles because of their flexibility and efficiency as well as their outstanding manoeuvrability in narrow city streets.Cannon Consumables also rated the excellent all-round visibility as crucial to driver and pedestrian safety as deliveries often occur in confined urban areas. The Mitsubishi Canters' direct injection turbo diesel engine also has the advantage of reaching its maximum power at very low engine revs thus reducing the need for frequent gear changing and associated driver stress.All of the new vehicles are also equipped with the latest 1000kg tail lift to allow quick and easy off-loading where delivery time restrictions occur. Cannon Consumables has also recently launched its fast-response,online ordering web site which enables everything from hand towels to toilet brushes to be purchased at the click of a mouse.This follows the popularity of its 98 page catalogue launched almost a year ago.
