Milk delivery firm McQueens Dairies has decided to go direct to source for its latest 80-van order. The company has orders 80 Volkswagen Transporter dropside vans for its UK delivery drivers to use.

Some of McQueens Dairies’ current long wheelbase VW Transporter dropside vans.

It’s a relatively unusual base vehicle for a dropside in the UK — the Transit is the most common choice. McQueens’ vans are even more unusual because the firm has specified the long wheelbase variant. It’s for this reason that the vans will be converted to McQueens’ specification in Germany before being delivered to the UK.

Discussing the order, Calum McQueen, Commercial Director at McQueens Dairies, said:

“We couldn’t be happier about bringing in 80 Volkswagen Transporter dropside vans. They have proved time and time again to be the best commercial vehicle for our business.

“Having them specifically converted for us in Germany demonstrates how committed we are in our long-term partnership with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. We know we will always get the best vehicle possible for the job.”

McQueens Dairies previously had a mixed fleet of 100 vehicles before replacing the majority with the 80 Volkswagen LWB dropside vans, and plans to expand its fleet before the end of the year.
