Here are a few examples from Biffa&#8217;s website:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fire and flood damage<\/li>\n<li>Freezer breakdowns<\/li>\n<li>Waste compactor breakdowns<\/li>\n<li>Chemical splillages<\/li>\n<li>Product and packaging recalls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to see how a company could need to get rid of such waste fast or else face costly operational disruption, health and safety issues or potential pollution problems.<\/p>\n<p>The bulk of the OneCall services will be delivered by Biffa&#8217;s fleet of refuse collection vehicles and other trucks, but Biffa needed to enhance the capabilities of its mobile fleet of service technicians and workshop managers.<\/p>\n<p>Biffa was also seeking a highly visible way of promoting the new OneCall service to potential customers. A new fleet of Mercedes vans met both requirements. The firm is taking delivery of a number of new Sprinter vans featuring a striking red and black OneCall livery, as part of a larger fleet order.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8175 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/biffa-onecall-sprinter-sm.jpg\" alt=\"Biffa OneCall Mercedes-Benz Sprinter\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/biffa-onecall-sprinter-sm.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/biffa-onecall-sprinter-sm-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/biffa-onecall-sprinter-sm-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The new OneCall Sprinters are 313 CDI models with all-over vinyl wrap liveries.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the four Biffa OneCall vehicles, Intercounty Truck &amp; Van has supplied its high-profile customer with 15 Medium-length Sprinter 313 CDIs, six New Vito 111 CDI crew vans, four New Vito 111 CDI vans, 10 Citan 111 CDI Longs and six Extra-long Citan 111 CDI crew vans with second rows of seats, allowing each to carry a driver and up to four passengers.<\/p>\n<p>Like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/archives\/6581\">a number<\/a> of other companies, Biffa is finding that the ability to choose from three sizes of Mercedes van means that operational requirements can be met efficiently without needing a mixed-marque fleet of vans.<\/p>\n<p>Will Gallagher, Biffa&#8217;s Supply Chain &amp; Logisitics Category Manager, explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe fact that we can now buy Mercedes-Benz vans in three different sizes is very helpful.
