Fuel savings add up for Samat as Premiums join the fleet 23 January 2013

Hazardous materials transporter Groupe Samat UK has taken delivery of six Renault Premium 460.25 6x2 tractor units, following impressive fuel performance of existing similar trucks on its fleet.

The vehicles – supplied through Renault Trucks distributor, JDS Trucks – have been equipped with Mellor Hydropack and B200 screw compressor equipment.

They will join Groupe Samat UK's 75-strong fleet, which also includes MAN and DAF trucks.

"[Our the Renault Premiums] have been consistently exceeding 8—9 mpg which is above our group target of 32 litres per 100k," confirms Samat UK fleet manager Phil Collins.

"We offer an international haulage service, with our vehicles travelling long distances across the UK and Europe, so any fuel savings we can make really add up," he says.

And he adds that his Premium trucks have also proved very reliable and great all-rounders, with drivesr also liking the trucks' "powerful engines and comfortable drive".
