They have optimized our business conditions and after-sales services to such an extent that we are favorably inclined towards this brand for a long time.
Last year, we renewed the fleet by purchasing 30 new Renault Trucks 520 T-High vehicles, gradually replacing the oldest Renault T-High vehicles from the year of production in 2015. All vehicles are in a uniform white color and have high cabs that provide the drivers with an optimal working environment . They are equipped with modern technologies for even higher fuel savings. The adaptive cruise control in combination with the Optiroll system enables optimal use of fuel while maintaining the highest possible operating speed so that all transports are carried out according to plan. The vehicles are also equipped with the Optifuel+ package, through the functions of which it is possible to locate the vehicle in real time, monitor its technical data and evaluate the drivers’ driving style.
