Jason Collins, Division Manager JCB, Trucks and Construction spoke about the newest addition at a media launch held on Thursday 3rd November at the FT Farfan’s head office, “We are excited to welcome Shacman trucks into the FT Farfan Family. The Shacman fleet offers a wide range of heavy-duty trucks which can be tailored to your specific needs or industry. Shacman trucks utilize the industry top brands like Cummins and are outfitted with MAN cabs and axels. This combination extends our truck offerings in the market and our commitment as the Cummins dealer, with decades of experience providing parts and service.”
Shacman trucks are backed by a 1-year, unlimited miles, and full bumper to bumper warranty. FT Farfan will also provide trained technicians to assist customers, and, in the event of an accident, stock parts or source them within a couple days due to its extensive regional network and partnership. Shacman uses many components known across the world in the heavy-duty truck industry such as Eaton, Fast Gear, ZF, Williams, HYVA to name a few.
Mr. Collins said the company took notice of the performance and reliability of Shacman especially under rugged and demanding conditions, “This led us to pursue and obtain the exclusive dealership for Shacman trucks in Trinidad and Tobago. We recognized the high quality of these trucks and the solid commitment of the Shacman company to be revolutionary in the local trucking industry. With our reputation in providing strong support for parts and service coupled with attractive financing options in all major financial institutions, we believe this will open avenues for small, medium and large transportation contractors and companies.”
