Renault Range T wins over DAF-exclusive J Freight 02 December 2014

Rochdale-based J Freight has taken delivery of its first Renault truck, a Euro 6 Range T 460 6x2 tractor unit, which joins what was previously a DAF-exclusive fleet.

This is only the second new vehicle purchased by family-owned J Freight in 30 years of trading, and managing director Steve Jackson explains that it was the performance of the truck and the dealer (JDS Trucks) during trials that were the key deciding factors.

"I normally buy 12—18 month old DAF trucks [but] I was so impressed by the sales people and the vehicle at the CV Show, as well as the excellent approach by the dealer that I decided to give a new Renault Range T a try," states Jackson.

"We are all really impressed with both the service and the vehicle's performance so far," he continues.

"We have all the extras on the truck, including fridge, air conditioning, Bluetooth, iPod as well as excellent storage facilities and a double bunk.

"The drivers absolutely love the Range T. The vehicle helps to present such a great image for J Freight and I'm so impressed that I'm looking to change the whole fleet across to Renault over time."

The new truck is being used for general haulage, including transporting food, chemicals and building products, to and from the north west of England, Birmingham, Hull and North Wales to the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
