Renault Range T makes first move into Wales17 February 2014

Transport and logistics business Freight Movement has taken delivery of four Euro 6 Range T 460 6x2 tractor units, the first Renault Range Ts to go into operation in Wales.

Newport-based Freight Movement specified all four tractors with sleeper cabs, with each covering up to 130,000 miles a year.

Cab size was a key factor in the company's decision, as managing director Paul Hurley explains: "I think the spacious new cab will surprise a lot of people. Our drivers are often away for up to four nights a week and the combination of the larger cab size and improved layout will make for a much enhanced overnight experience."

The Range Ts join the company's 35-strong fleet, which includes 10 Renault Premiums purchased in the past two years.

"If the fuel returns from the new T 460s are anything like the Premiums, which return on average 9.8—10mpg, we will be extremely happy," says Hurley.

Supplied by dealer Renault Trucks Cardiff, the vehicles have been acquired on a four-year contract hire through BRS.
