Truck and Track Summer 2021

Truck and Track Summer 2021 www.truckandtrack.com 8 BUSINESS NEWS TruckEast, an award-winning Scania dealer group, is investing over £5 million into a new purpose-built truck dealership in Suffolk. With planning approved, the project can now get underway for a flagship site that will see the privately-run business relocate its head office. The new 3.7 acre plot is ideally located for local operators right off junction 47a on the A14 and only fivemiles from the company’s current location. The proposed new development will offer a full range of all makes servicing, repairs and maintenance alongside a comprehensive bodyshop which will be housed in eight 30-metre bays. Designed in accordance with Scania’s global dealership principles, the state- of-the-art facilities will also include an ATF lane, parts department, offices, staff welfare, meeting rooms and extensive secure parking. Being purpose-built, the premises will have a full environmental management plan in place to maximise future sustainability. After half a century at its current location in Stowmarket, the build represents a whole new chapter for the Scania dealer group. Group Aftersales Director, Martyn Clipston comments, “We’re really excited about this build. Stowmarket is one of the oldest serving Scania branches in the UK and for TruckEast it was the original branch – it seems fitting that now it will be our first purpose-built site. This investment of just over £5 million reflects our future commitment to our customers and the Scania brand, where the new dealership will enable us to take our service to the next level.” www.truckeast.co.uk Plans approved for Truckeast’s latest £5million investment At the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held in London on June 2, 2021, shareholders approved, almost unanimously, the resolution to change the company’s name from Total to TotalEnergies, thereby anchoring its strategic transformation into a broad energy company in its identity. In tandem with this name change, TotalEnergies is adopting a new visual identity. “Energy is life. We all need it and it’s a source of progress. So today, to contribute to the sustainable development of the planet facing the climate challenge, we are moving forward, together, towards new energies. Energy is reinventing itself, and this energy journey is ours. Our ambition is to be a world-class player in the energy transition. That is why Total is transforming and becoming TotalEnergies,” declared Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies. This new name and new visual identity embody the course TotalEnergies has resolutely charted for itself: that of a broad energy company committed to producing and providing energies that are ever more affordable, reliable and clean. https://services.totalenergies.uk Total is Transforming and Becoming TotalEnergies MAGENTA YELLOW CYAN 30-34 Rue du Chemin Vert 75011 Paris +33 (0)1 85 56 97 00 www.carrenoir.com Ce fichier est un document d’exécution créé sur Illustrator version CS6.
