Transporting chocolate to the nation

Gregory Distribution has selected 10 trailers fitted with Carrier Transicold Vector 1550 systems to help keep Britain’s sweet tooth satisfied, after acquiring the efficient units to support a contract with Mondelēz International to deliver Cadbury’s chocolate.
Carrier Transicold, which operates in the UK as Carrier Transicold UK, is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp.
The 10 mono-temperature Vector 1550 units, which are mounted to 15.6 meter Gray & Adams tri-axle longer semi-trailers (LSTs), will be based in Birmingham, transporting Cadbury’s chocolate around the nation. The new arrivals join a more than 2,000-strong fleet of commercial vehicle assets at Gregory Distribution.
“Gregory Distribution has enjoyed a long working relationship with Carrier Transicold UK, and we’re certain our new Vector 1550 units, combined with the LSTs, will provide the ideal mix of capacity, fuel efficiency, low maintenance and reliability for the Cadbury’s contract,” says Andy Price, technical support manager, Gregory Distribution.
