Renault is king for logistics business Canute Group13 January 2014

Logistics and supply chain business Canute Group has boosted its fleet with 34 Renault Premium 460.25 6x2 tractor units, with Privilege cab and Optidriver gearbox.

Supplied by dealer Renault Trucks Essex, 20 of the Premiums will operate across the UK on behalf of high street chain Wilkinson, while the other 14 will be used in Essex-based Canute's growing building materials division.

The construction-spec Premiums will pull trailers with mechanical off-load facilities; several are fitted with specialist equipment, including blower packs for discharging pressure tankers.

Some of the Premiums are new additions to Canute's building materials division fleet; others are replacing existing Euro 4 vehicles.

Wayne Marshall, director, Canute Group, says the time is right to invest in new vehicles for the construction fleet: "Before the credit crunch, we were the largest independent operator of manual off-load vehicles, with a fleet of 174 delivering building materials nationwide.

"These new Renault Premiums are the first step in increasing our presence again and developing this sector for our group, and will give us the flexibility to become one of the largest construction operators in the UK once again."
