Eddie Stobart and A. W. Jenkinson Forest Products have once again signed
a joint-procurement agreement with Scania in the UK for the supply of
1,000 trucks. As such, the deal mirrors the order placed by the two
operators in 2010, which at the time represented Scania's largest ever
supply agreement in the UK.

Scheduled for delivery between March 2012 and December 2013,
approximately 300 units will enter service this year. As with the
previous order, the mix of vehicles will comprise mainly Scania R-series
tractor units but will also include a significant number of Scania
G-series models.

"This agreement reflects our on-going satisfaction with Scania and the
levels of support provided by the company's dealer network," comments
Stobart Group Chief Operating Officer, William Stobart. "Scania's focus
on ongoing development will allow Eddie Stobart to continue to provide
sustainable distribution and the usual high levels of service to its
customers."

"Over the past two years, the partnership between Eddie Stobart, A. W.
Jenkinson and Scania has continued to develop positively," says
Hans-Christer Holgersson, Managing Director of Scania (Great Britain)
Limited. "Winning such a significant repeat order not only demonstrates
that our products meet the operational needs of these two high profile
customers day-in day-out, but also the capabilities of our service
organisation when it comes to providing a comprehensive range of back-up
services on such a large geographical scale."

strongest brands in Britain, best known for its iconic green trucks.
