Cefin Trucks announces the delivery of 16 4142D Euro 6C Ford Trucks tippers to the Road Infrastructure Management National Company (CNAIR). This important order comes as a result of the agreement signed on March 22, 2018, within the public tender no. 170048 organized by CNAIR.

“The winning of the CNAIR tender was one of our challenges, especially since it took place in the first months following the launch of the Ford Trucks brand in Romania. We are proud of this performance and we are glad to be present with Ford Trucks on road and bridge construction sites in the country”, says Stefano Albarosa, CEO Cefin Trucks.

“In this way we confirm once again the commitment we have made to provide companies operating in the Construction and Infrastructure Works robust, high-performance products, specifically designed to meet and exceed their requirements and bring real added value to their services through the performance of Ford Trucks vehicles and optimized operating costs”, adds Selim Yazici, Managing Director South East Europe and Balkans, Ford Trucks.

“We trust that the products delivered by CEFIN will meet the CNAIR requirements. The 16 tippers, purchased through the CNAIR Mechanization Department, will become the property of the Road Company and will be used to repair and maintain the national road infrastructure. The 8X4 Ford tippers purchased today are mainly intended for the transport of asphalt mixes produced by asphalt plants owned by the CNAIR regional companies. I must specify that this acquisition is also part of the CNAIR refurbishment plan, launched in 2014, which provides the purchase of 1,000 machines and equipment”, says Alin Serbanescu, spokesperson for CNAIR.

The power and stability demonstrated in construction site conditions, low fuel consumption Euro 6 Ecotorq engines, the engine braking system and durability under all load conditions are the main features that have placed Ford Trucks construction commercial vehicles among the first brands on the Romanian market just a few months after entering the market.

The new 13L Euro 6C engine, with 420PS and 2150Nm, provides an ideal balance between performance and economy. It features an exhaust gas recirculation system, variable turbocharger geometry, direct injection system and intelligent electronic control unit. Also, the EcoTorq engines are equipped with all fuel-saving “SMART” systems: alternator, compressor, variable flow rate servo pump and water pump.
A chassis reinforced throughout its length, reinforced suspension and impressive ground clearance help the 4142D tipper to complete all missions for all types of payload and road conditions.

The CNAIR agreement also includes after sales services. The Ford Trucks distribution and technical assistance network is present in Bucharest, Constanța, Brașov, Craiova, Timișoara, Deva, Arad, Bacău, Suceava, Cluj-Napoca, Oradea, and Baia Mare. Another service provided by this partnership is drivers’ training to be done by Ford Trucks representatives. The tendered vehicles will be delivered to the Regional Roads and Bridges Companies in Timișoara, Cluj-Napoca, Craiova, and Brașov.
