New support for MAN F2000 units

German truck maker MAN has launched an all-encompassing contract maintenance programme for its recently introduced F2000 tractor units.

According to the firm the scheme has been launched to meet increased operator demand for fixed repair and maintenance contracts.

Its latest package, branded as Triple A, is designed to offer 24, 36, 48 or 60 month contracts for a fixed monthly outgoing. It covers one-off servicing bills and unexpected costs, such as major component replacements or unscheduled roadside repairs.

Claimed to be a market leader amongst big truck after sales packages, it includes all routing servicing. It also covers the cost of oils, filters and lubricants, standard specification repairs, including the replacement of "wear and tear" items (parts that have worn through normal usage), general and pre-MOT test inspection, steam cleaning and presentation of a vehicle for its annual road worthiness test.

Additionally, all "O" licence inspections are undertaken as part of the Triple A agreement.

The scheme also includes a 24-hour roadside recovery scheme which lasts the life of the contract, and will provide the equivalent cost of a replacement vehicle should the truck be out of service for more than 24 hours.

Buyers of F2000 tractor units can make use of the package within 12 months of purchase, provided the truck has covered less than 250,000 miles.
