We’re the first company in the UK salvage industry to introduce DAF XD 7-car transporters featuring specialist Estepe conversion chassis, further strengthening our market-leading transport fleet.
The addition of the first two DAF XD Estepe transporters marks another milestone in the ongoing investment into our logistical capabilities, helping ensure that our customers can continue to rely on fast, safe and efficient vehicle collections, whatever the circumstances.
As demand for vehicle recovery and transport services grows, driven by an expanding UK vehicle parc and increasingly unpredictable weather events, we continue to evolve our fleet to meet changing customer needs.
With more than 500 company-owned, fully branded and digitally connected vehicles operating across the UK, we’ve built one of the most diverse transport fleets in the industry. From single-car recovery vehicles to multi-vehicle transporters, our fleet enables us to respond flexibly and efficiently to a wide range of collection requirements.
By building and managing our own fleet, we’ve created a more resilient operation with less reliance on third-party resources, giving our customers greater certainty when demand across the wider recovery market is high.
Our new DAF XD 7-car transporters represent the latest step in that strategy. Featuring a professionally lowered cab roof, the Estepe conversion creates an ultra-low profile that allows vehicles to be safely loaded over the cab while remaining within strict vehicle height regulations. This increases carrying capacity while supporting safe, compliant and efficient operations.
Phil Briggs, Director of Operation Centres, Transport and SVO at Copart UK said:
“We’re proud to be the first company in the salvage industry to introduce these DAF XD Estepe transporters. They are another example of how we’re building a fleet that’s fit for the future, giving us even greater flexibility to collect vehicles of all types and sizes safely, efficiently and at scale.
By maintaining a diverse range of transport solutions, we can ensure that the right vehicle can be deployed for every collection. This helps our drivers to access more challenging locations while providing the most suitable and fuel-efficient transport option.”
