Supplied by Renault Truck Commercials, the 13 litre T520 High 6x2 pushers will move games consoles and foodstuffs that have been shipped in from worldwide locations, and then on to destinations across the UK.
The T520 Highs follow on from a 26 tonne D Range added to the mixed fleet at the end of last year. A further three T480 Highs & two 26 tonne T480 rigids are on order, with vehicle appeal and dealer service cited as key reasons for the deal.
The artics are the first vehicles to showcase the haulage company’s new branding, which it has undertaken to reflect its expansion programme that has included the acquisition of new depots in Warrington and Felixstowe.
Andre Jenkins, South East fleet manager at Youngs Transportation & Logistics, said: “Introducing the new branding to the fleet was an important step in communicating the company’s new look and feel. Along with the expansion and rebrand, things are changing in the fleet too and the Renault trucks are replacements for a competitor model that we’ve used for years. Not only was the overall deal more competitive, the Renault trucks, in my opinion look smarter and have a greater presence. We’ve added side skirts and stainless-steel wing mirrors to match the alloy wheels which look great against the striking black truck. The T Highs look impressive and are the perfect flagship vehicles to showcase in our new branding.”
The vehicles feature high sleeper cabs and, with the driver out 4-5 nights a week. The vehicles have been specified with on-board comfort including lockers, 40L fridge, microwave, multimedia touchscreen, luxury heated and ventilated driver’s seat, insulated cab curtains and leather steering wheel.
