Austin Contract Services Ltd, a leading biosolids transport provider for the agricultural sector, has expanded its fleet with a Renault Trucks C480 8×4 Off Road tipper. This milestone addition marks the company’s 25th anniversary and underscores its dedication to reliable and efficient operations.
Renault Truck Commercials supplied the new C480, which is finished in a commemorative metallic silver. It will primarily transport biosolids across the Southeast. The vehicle is part of a two-year “Excellence” Repair and maintenance contract, reflecting the company’s focus on long-term performance and service.
Renault Trucks Deliver Performance and Comfort
The C480’s reinforced construction chassis, steel bumpers, and superior off-road capabilities make it ideal for agricultural operations, offering durability and enhanced ground clearance for challenging terrains. Driver comfort is also prioritised, with Renault Trucks’ *“serenity”* bunk system, a ventilated driver’s seat, enhanced lighting, and an electric roof vent ensuring optimal conditions for long shifts.
Kim Wetherell, Operations Director at Austin Contract Services, highlighted the decision to choose Renault Trucks: “Our first Renault Trucks vehicle, a hook loader acquired in January 2024, has performed exceptionally well. Renault Trucks offered the perfect mix of performance, availability, and value for money, making the C480 the ideal choice to celebrate our growth and future ambitions.”
Since 2021, Austin Contract Services’ fleet has grown significantly from 9 to 23 heavy goods vehicles comprising tippers and hook loaders.
Kim added: *“Our drivers love it. It’s one of the best trucks they’ve driven, combining exceptional reliability, comfort, and performance. Our team deserves the best tools for the job, and this truck delivers on all fronts.”*
With Renault Truck Commercials’ strong support, Austin Contract Services anticipates further growth and looks forward to continuing this successful partnership.
