Supplied by dealer Alex Aiken and Son, the tractors are on a two-year contract hire through BRS, which includes tyres and road tax. The tractors are pulling oil and gas trailers to the operator's depot in Cowdenbeath.
The haulier's owner Jason Moir says fuel efficiency was a major factor in his decision and the trucks are already living up to the promise. "Fuel economy is always a key factor for Dyce Carriers and we knew that the new Range T had been specifically designed to deliver fuel savings. It's early days, but initial figures are very promising," he says.
The trucks have also been supplied with Renault's Fuel Eco package, which includes the Optifleet telematics system.
In keeping with Dyce's policy to name its trucks, the Range Ts are called 'Blackwatch', after the Royal Highland regiment, and 'Slains Castle' after the Aberdeenshire location said to have inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula.
