K&H Bakewell has added three Renault Trucks T High 6x2s to its fleet. The firm returned to RH Commercial Vehicles after introducing the first Renaults to its fleet in 2022.
Peter Lowery, Director, said: “The availability and service backup from RHCV is why we have chosen Renault again; the level of service is second to none. The Alfreton depot, where our trucks are serviced, goes above and beyond to ensure that our trucks return in fantastic condition. Any queries and needs have always been sorted quickly and efficiently.
“The trucks will be working as tippers and general haulage up and down the country, so a reliable service offering is essential to ensure confidence in the trucks – Renault does just that.”
Another important quality for new trucks for K&H Bakewell is comfort. Numerous extra accessories have been fitted to ensure driver comfort. These are essential for driver retention and well-being, qualities that are a key priority in the design of the Renault cab.
TV equipment, a luxury driver’s seat including adjustable lumbar support, height setting memory, and heat and ventilation systems have been added to the driving area. The bunk has been upgraded to the sérénité bunk with a memory foam mattress. Electrical provisions and a 40L refrigerator have also been fitted to provide a home-from-home.
Two trucks feature four-point cab air suspension with a normal-height control system to ensure a smoother and more comfortable drive. The third has been fitted with standard suspension features.
The trucks have been fitted with the 13L E6 engine with a max torque of 2550Nm. Fitted with the EEC EURO VI level, they are ULEZ compliant, eliminating extra charges and reducing operational costs.
Peter said, “Since we added the first Renault brand into the fleet in 2022, we have had brilliant feedback from our drivers. These new Renaults have seen the same response. They have provided a smooth and easy drive so far.
“The sales process from RHCV has been seamless. Simon Bailey (sales executive) has been incredibly attentive throughout the process, and we were kept informed of all updates. K&H Bakewell and RH Commercial Vehicles have always worked well together and have formed a solid working relationship.”
