Ocado to Outfit Fleet with Winter Tyres
Online grocer Ocado has decided to fit its entire 600 plus fleet of delivery vans with cold weather tyres. The company, launched in partnership with Waitrose in 2002 and delivering to an area covering more than 13.5 million households across the South Coast, South East, Midlands and North West, will now be equipped to handle its growing deliveries even when the mercury plunges. The cost of equipping the fleet with winter rubber is approximately £300,000.
