Within a few months of entering the Romanian market, Ford Trucks delivers a series of 16 tractors to International Vlase.
Ford Trucks, a manufacturer of commercial vehicles over 55 years old, comes to the Romanian market with a series of high performance AutoTractors. Low fuel consumption thanks to the powerful Ford Ecotorq engine, long service intervals and compliance with different trailer options make the AutoTractor series a renowned player on the commercial vehicle market in Romania.
Thanks to the newly developed active safety features and the ergonomic cabin, which improves the driver’s operating performance, the Ford Tractor Cap Series is the trusted partner for those who are looking for long distance transport. Designed by Ford engineers and preferred around the world, the profitability of the Ford AutoTractor Series makes a crucial contribution to increasing company profitability.
“Ford Trucks is our commitment to increasing the profitability of our partners in the Romanian market. We already have the experience of choice, and Ford Trucks are one of the most cost-optimized cost-optimization solutions that increase profitability, “said Stefano Albarosa, CEO of Cefin Trucks, the only importer and distributor of Ford Trucks in Romania .
“We particularly appreciate the collaboration with Mr. Vlase. We have been partners for more than 20 years and together we are convinced that we are participating in increasing the quality of transport services on the Romanian market “, adds Mr. Albarosa.
After a test of 3 months and 30,000 kilometers, International Vlas decided to purchase 16 Ford Trucks Tractors to be used in international tanker transport. Among the defining features in making the purchase decision were the brand experience and the quality of Ford Trucks component suppliers: “Ford has gone through two world wars, and assemblers and assemblers are known, such as the ZF for the gearbox or Bosch, even if the assembly is done, as other well-known producers, in Turkey, “explained Mr. Gheorghe Vlase, the manager of Vlase International.
“From a technical point of view and in terms of operation, FORD TRUCKS is a friendly and easy-to-use machine,” adds Mr. Vlase.
The 16 tractors are equipped with the Ford Ecotorq engine of 13-liter 480 hp with a torque of 2500 Nm offering impressive performance with low fuel consumption. The Ford Trucks chassis cab is equipped with a host of options to ensure driver comfort and ease of use: air conditioning, rain sensor, headlight sensor, cruise control, radio CD. Ford Trucks are delivered with GPS and a 24-month Fleet Management included by Viasat. This professional monitoring solution allows the owner to have all the vehicle’s technical and operational information (mileage, consumption, position, style-driven efficiency) at hand and works perfectly integrated into any company ERP system or independent information provider.
Another important aspect is that the 16 Ford Trucks are procured with service contracts.
“I’m not afraid to stay on track, because Ford has mobile workshops. I was pleasantly surprised at how many partnerships the producer has, “Gheorghe Vlase said.
The Ford Trucks national service network provides customers with short-term interventions both in the country (Bucharest, Constanta, Craiova, Timisoara, Arad, Deva and Brasov) as well as through mobile workshops that can move and perform field interventions , in the event of an incident.
