The Manchester-based company specialises in UK & European transport, logistics, distribution, haulage and warehousing, and is a member of the Palletforce Pallet Delivery Network with more than 120 depots nationwide.
The new tractor units offer enhanced safety with the advanced vision system with better night and wide-angled vision, a more comfortable cab for drivers, increased fuel savings and reduced CO2 emissions. They are also DVS2 compliant.
Greg Thurston, director at Pace Logistics said: “We wanted to add to our growing fleet and Renault was our first choice.
“We have a good relationship with DS Trucks who introduced us to Hexagon Leasing who have supplied the trucks on a 4-year contract and will be providing the fleet management service.
“With these trucks, we also took the opportunity to have a little brand refresh collaborating with the team at Manchester Signage on new vehicle graphics.”
The trucks were supplied to Hexagon Leasing by Renault Trucks dealer, JDS Truck & Van.
Chris Bell, sales director at JDS Trucks said: “Pace Logistics are a long-standing customer of JDS Trucks. As part of a recent partnership with Hexagon Leasing, we have provided 13 of the latest generation Renault T-Range trucks to Pace Logistics, whilst Hexagon provides the fleet management service.
“It’s a reciprocal 3-way partnership and Hexagon mirrors the high-quality service and good relationship which Pace have come to expect from JDS Trucks over the last 30+ years.”
Steve Johnson, National Accounts and Business Development Manager at Hexagon Leasing added: “We are delighted to welcome Pace Logistics on board as new customers, offering a one-stop package with a high level of support.
“Pace Logistics have also just confirmed an order for a new Renault D-Range 18T truck that will be DVS2 compliant, and we expect it to be on the road by June.”
