Fleet, Transport & Depot Cleaning Equipment Leicester | V-TUF

Fleet, transport & depot — Leicester

V-TUF supplies hot-water pressure washers, diesel-fired cleaning systems and heavy-duty industrial vacuums to fleet operators, bus and coach depots, HGV hauliers and logistics facilities across Leicester and Leicestershire. Leicester sits at the junction of the M1, M69 and A46 — making it one of the most strategically important logistics nodes in the UK. Magna Park at Lutterworth — one of the UK's largest and most significant logistics parks, home to Amazon, DHL, XPO Logistics, Kuehne+Nagel and major retail distribution operations — is just 10 miles south of Leicester city centre. Next Group operates major distribution facilities at its Enderby headquarters campus. Arriva Midlands operates its Leicester bus fleet from the Sandacre Street depot. The concentration of logistics, distribution and fleet operations in and around Leicester generates one of the highest demands for vehicle wash-down and depot cleaning equipment of any East Midlands city.

Environmental permitting — washdown water and trade effluent →

Vehicle wash-down water must not enter surface water drains or Leicestershire watercourses. Severn Trent Water trade effluent consent required for discharge to the public sewer from Leicester vehicle wash bays and depots. Large logistics operations at Magna Park Lutterworth and the Leicester M1/M69 corridor are subject to environmental permit conditions as part of their planning consent.

Frequently asked questions

What pressure washer is correct for HGV wash-down at Magna Park Lutterworth?

For high-throughput HGV wash-down at Magna Park and the Leicester logistics corridor, the RAPID VSC 240V (stainless, 100 bar, 12 L/min) is the correct specification — higher flow rate covers large vehicle surface areas faster and reduces wash bay cycle times. For single-bay or mobile operations, the HD140HOT (240V hot water, 140 bar) is the correct specification. Both are available on trade account with next-day delivery to Magna Park (LE17) and Leicester (LE) postcodes.

Does V-TUF supply to Arriva Midlands bus depots in Leicester?

Yes — V-TUF supplies bus and coach fleet operators across the East Midlands. Trade account terms are available for fleet depot operators. Contact 01522 787978 for depot supply arrangements and volume pricing.

Can I discharge vehicle wash-down water to the drain at my Leicester depot?

Only to the foul sewer with trade effluent consent from Severn Trent Water — not to a surface water drain. Vehicle wash-down water is trade effluent under the Water Industry Act 1991. See fleet washdown and trade effluent guidance →
