Damac grows Renault trucks fleet with 10 more Premiums

Tractor Units
Nationwide bulk powder distributor Damac Transporters has added a further 10 Renault trucks to its 38-strong all-Renault fleet.
Its Renault Premium 460.25 6x2 tractor units, each with Privilege cabs and Optidriver gearbox, were supplied through Renault Trucks distributor, Thompson Commercials Hull. The trucks have been equipped with discharge equipment and air compressors, supplied and fitted by WG Tankers, and will transport and distribute mainly cement powder products nationwide. "This latest order follows the purchase of 21 new Renault Premiums in 2012 as we continue to expand our fleet," states Cathy Plaskitt, managing director, Damac Transporters. "The Renaults are competitively priced vehicles which have proven very reliable so far. They offer lower emissions and better fuel economy than many comparable units. We have definitely seen a significant improvement in our overall fleet fuel efficiency." Plaskitt says another reason for selecting Renault trucks has been local dealer Thompson Commercials' ability to undertake all of fleet maintenance at Damac's own depot. "[That] minimises disruption and allows us to keep our fleet working as efficiently as possible," she says.
