Overland in for the long haul with Renault Range T

Tractor Units
Temperature-controlled and dry freight haulier Overland Transport has taken delivery of its first Euro 6 Renault truck, a Range T460 6x2.

Supplied by Thompson Commercials of Boston, the Lincolnshire-based operator's latest addition will be used to transport goods throughout the UK and north-west and central France.

Overland's transport manager Rob Page says, as a long-term customer of Renault, it was a "natural progression" to bring the Euro 6 Range T into his six-strong fleet.

Having driven the vehicle himself, he adds, both he and his drivers rate the Range T for its ease of handling, thanks to the Optidrive gearbox.

"The bigger cab is a huge plus, as our drivers can be out on the road for 7-10 days when travelling to France so it's imperative that they are happy," says Page.

"So far, we've been really impressed. The Range T is already matching the Renault Premium's fuel consumption and this has been in harsh driving conditions – we expect this to improve further as the engine runs in."
