Fleet, Transport & Logistics Equipment — Newcastle upon Tyne

Fleet, transport & logistics — Newcastle upon Tyne

V-TUF supplies hot-water pressure washers, diesel-fired mobile cleaning systems and heavy-duty industrial vacuums to fleet managers, depot supervisors and logistics operators across Newcastle, Gateshead and the wider North East. Go North East — one of the largest bus operators in the country — runs its Tyne and Wear network from depots at Riverside, Gateshead and Sunderland. Arriva North East operates from depots across the region. The A1(M)/A19 logistics corridor — with distribution and warehousing operations at Team Valley Business Park in Gateshead, Follingsby Park, Birtley and the Nissan Sunderland supplier network along the A19 — makes the North East one of the most significant commercial vehicle markets in the north of England. Port of Tyne at South Shields generates port vehicle, freight unit and quayside wash-down demand that connects directly to Newcastle's commercial property and facilities estate across the wider Tyne and Wear region.
