Whistl drivers key to 48-vehicle order with Renault

Delivery management business Whistl has signed a £2.5 million deal for 48 Renault Range D rigids, supplied by BRS on leasing and maintenance contract.

The new vehicles are a mix of 7.5-, 18- and 26-tonne trucks, and were chosen after a competitive tender process.

The tender evaluation included feedback from Whistl’s drivers, who tested the competing trucks.

“Our transport team are an important part of the Whistl operation and I am pleased that we were able to gain the input of our drivers in this significant investment decision,” says Nick Wells, Whistl’s chief executive.

Whistl also recently signed a deal with Don-Bur and TIP Trailers for 41 new double-deck trailers as part of a wider fleet renewal programme.
