Ford-owned Dagenham Motors has won a contract to supply 600 seven-seater Ford Galaxys to Addison Lee, the private hire chauffer company.

The Galaxy 2.0 TDCi auto models are set to enter service at the rate of about 60 per month until the year-end.

Te models will be supplied from Edgware Road and were purchased outright. The vehicles are expected to cover around 100,000 miles over two and a half years on the Addison Lee fleet.
