Refrigerated haulage operator says Renault Range T is cool on fuel20 June 2014

Refrigerated haulage operator STS Logistics has taken delivery of the UK's first Renault Range T520 high-roof, flat-floor sleeper and is reporting a 10% fuel saving in the first two weeks of operation.

Supplied by dealer Renault Trucks Midlands, the left-hand drive vehicle is the first Renault in the Oswestry-based operator's eight-strong truck fleet.

Key to its selection, says STS, were fuel consumption, reliability and driver satisfaction.

"Our new Range T has only been on the road for two weeks, but I've been delighted with its performance so far," says STS director Andrew Morris, adding that the Range T is delivering 1mpg – or 10% – better fuel performance than its DAF and Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

"We also selected the Range T with our drivers in mind," he says. "The bigger cab and rest area, high roof and ease of access have all helped to make our drivers' job easier and more comfortable."

The Range T is being used to transport frozen food from the Midlands to London and Kent, returning to the Midlands from Kent with fresh fruit and vegetables.
