From 4m³ vans to 44 tonne tractors and beyond, there's only one name from Carlisle across to Newcastle, Teesside, York, Humberside and North Lincolnshire : North East Truck & Van. North East Truck & Van (NETV) is one of the most respected names in commercial vehicles anywhere in the UK. Teesside-founded in 1969, NETV have a rock-solid reputation for looking after customers that stretches back more than 40 years. With roots as an independent service outlet and with seven dealerships right across the north, west to east, NETV are now one of the largest independent commercial vehicle dealer groups anywhere in Europe. With such a strong heritage, NETV represent some of the largest commercial vehicle manufacturers in Europe today: Iveco, Fiat Professional, Irisbus, MAN and Hino. Our partnerships are based on our commitment to the needs of customers. This is evidenced by our on-going investment in training and developing our people to the very highest standards. Ours is a service industry, after all. We provide a service - to transport operators, large and small - and our people deliver that service. That's why we invest in encouraging, enthusing and empowering them to be the best in their skills and in what they do on a daily basis. But perhaps more importantly, in their understanding of what this industry is all about. The realities of road transport. The real-world challenges transport operators face up to each and every day. Naturally, we invest in our facilities too, in strengthening our specialist technical capabilities and in keeping our activities at the forefront of transport technology. And as a result, we have a customer base which includes large national fleets and local authorities, to regional fleets, local retailers and tradesmen one-man bands. It remains that way today. And it will never change. Just one of the reasons why North East Truck & Van has twice been awarded Motor Transport's prestigious 'Dealer of the Year'​ accolade.
