he fi rst Mercedes- Benz truck to wear the eye-catching colours of
Cambridgeshire’s P Harper & Sons is proving every bit as fu- el-effi cient as hoped – while also winning a resounding thumbs up from its driver.
A third-generation family
business, P Harper & Sons is based at Ramsey Heights, Hunt- ingdon. Its transport operation, which trades as Harpers Haul- age, runs a mixed-marque fl eet and serves the agricultural sector. Much of the company’s work is focused on potatoes, onions and carrots – a special handling ser- vice entails debagging, emptying bulkers, and grading, before pack- ing the produce into boxes and de- livering to customers.

Transport Manager Matthew
Harper, who is heavily assisted by his brother Adam, said the Actros 2548 BigSpace tractor unit was living up to all expectations af- ter four months on the road, and with more than 27,000 miles un- der its belt.
