Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has supplied electrical contractor and building services company G D Chalmers with six Transporters, with a further 30 planned throughout the year as part of its fleet replacement programme.

Working in partnership with local councils in Scotland, Paisley-based G D Chalmers, specialises in the rewiring of council owned housing estates, and has rewired more than 80,000 houses to date.

The Transporters have been supplied by Glasgow Van Centre Baillieston.

Paul Morrow, director of G D Chalmers, said: “We’re delighted to have taken on six Transporters. They will be driving thousands of miles a week and the Transporter is the ideal vehicle for us to use, as it fits all needs of the business and is a tried and tested product.

“We look forward to taking on 30 more Transporters before the end of the year to aid all of our workers in our contract work across Scotland"

The acquisition of the Transporters also includes maintenance and servicing from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

The Transporters have been fitted with tracking systems and variable speed limit systems and are the first Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles to be supplied to the company.
