BC Ferries buys TICO tractors for new drop trailer service

TORONTO, Ont. — British Columbia Ferry Services has purchased a large quantity of TICO of Canada tractors for its new drop trailer service, an initiative recently introduced by its commercial services division.

TICO officials are calling it “the largest single purchase of terminal tractors in Canada” for the company.

“I am very pleased TICO of Canada was chosen to be an integral part of this new and exciting commercial venture. This transaction certainly validates TICO terminal tractors as an innovative and creative alternate solution to the other brands in the Canadian marketplace,” said Dominic J. Taddeo, chairman of TICO.

“TICO was chosen to partner with BC Ferries after rigorous due diligence of the TICO product and their operational experience through the RFP process managed by BC Ferries’ purchasing and automotive departments,” said Dominic J. Taddeo, chairman of TICO of Canada.

Amar Johal, BC Ferries’ vice-president of commercial sales, has the overall responsibility for this new venture with the operational management headed by Captain David Badior.
