Sourcing Vehicles Update

 

586 Engineering recently completed a ‘Sourcing Vehicles’ project for an automotive manufacturer based in the UK. We have been sourcing vehicles from European destinations allowing specific testing to be carried out on the selected vehicles.

ND2 Project Update

586 Engineering have been working on their Vehicle Data Logging Project in recent weeks and have collected data from five European countries. We have gained driving data for the third consecutive year and are nearing completion.

586 Engineering Complete Parts Collection 09

586 Engineering can now confirm the completion of its 2009 Parts Collection Project. For the third successive year the acquisition of parts has been fully satisfied within the required timeframe. Our continued good performance and level of service in this area should continue to put us in an excellent position to acquire new parts collection projects.

Driver Comments

“An amazing weekend, in which I really really enjoyed myself! I loved the stages and especially my first time on tarmac on the porlock stages. The stage times were extremely good, and a significant improvement is clear. It was important to get a finish and I’ve capitalised with some good stage times. I still know that there is a lot of time in certain areas, but the main aspect is that I’m tidy and enjoying the rally’s without taking any gambles. Roll on the Plains!”
