Diamond Freight named it's newest arrival in January 2017. As with all of the vehicles that came before the new Scania, it was adorned with the crest and silhouette of a HMS Royal Naval war ship.
The newest member of the fleet was the HMS Coventry, as a tribute to all of the veterans who served on the Type-42 destroyer and those who lost their lives serving on the HMS Coventry, when the destroyer was sunk after 3 direct hits from an Argentine A4-Skyhawk, to the north-west of the Falkland Sound.
