Family-run haulage business Eaton Transport has taken delivery of its first Renault truck, adding a 44-tonne Range T to its existing fleet of four DAF vehicles.
The St Neots-based firm's main customer DS Smith recommended the range and, after a successful trial, the haulier placed an order for a T460 6x2 on a three-year full service contract hire with BRS.
Steve Eaton, Eaton Transport's owner, says he looked at the Range T and was impressed with the interior: "It looked like it offered the same level of driver comfort as my DAFs, at a more competitive price."
The trial vehicle proved popular with the driver, so Eaton placed the order.
He adds: "The vehicle has only been on the road for a few weeks but I am very happy so far.
"It immediately matched the mpg figures on the well run-in DAFs, and the trial vehicle showed a 10% improvement, so we expect ours to match this once bedded in."
