RH Commercial Vehicles unveils major investment in Northampton site with launch of new Red Category ADR Test Lane

RH Commercial Vehicles (RHCV), one of the UK’s leading Renault Trucks and Isuzu Truck dealerships, specialising in sales, service and support, is excited to announce the opening of a new Red Category ADR ATF Lane at its Northampton branch.

This milestone forms part of a significant investment in the site, designed to elevate customer experience and meet the evolving needs of the transport and logistics industry.

The Northampton site has undergone a major redevelopment, including the construction of a brand-new, purpose-built workshop, the creation of a dedicated LCV service centre, and extensive refurbishment of office spaces, featuring modernised staff areas to enhance both customer service and employee wellbeing.

Key highlights of the Northampton investment:

• New Red Category ADR Test lane: Provides DVSA-accredited testing for vehicles transporting dangerous goods, reducing downtime and improving compliance support for fleet operators.
• Purpose-built Workshop: Equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostics and repair facilities to handle all sizes of commercial vehicles with greater speed and efficiency.
• Dedicated LCV Service Centre: Tailored support for light commercial vehicles, expanding RHCV’s commitment to its people and visiting customers.

The work has been overseen by George Richardson, Group Health and Safety and Facilities Manager and his team.

Nigel Baxter, Managing Director of RHCV, commented:

“This investment is a clear commitment to Northampton and the Midlands in providing trusted and compliant services. By upgrading our facilities, we are ensuring that RHCV continues to lead the way in providing comprehensive, efficient and customer-focused vehicle support”.

James Daykin, Aftersales Director of RHCV, commented:

“This is a huge step forward for Northampton and our customers. The new ADR lane and facilities mean we can offer a more complete, efficient service to operators across the region. We’ve invested in the tools, the space, and the team to ensure we are meeting the high standards, and I am incredibly proud of what we have built here.”

The ADR MOT Lane opens on the 9th June 2025.
