These high-specification vehicles form part of the ongoing vehicle upgrade programme of our 50-strong fleet, which serves national waste contracts, including Local Authority Household Recycling Centres across Dorset and Oxfordshire.
Alongside this acquisition, we are proud to be partnering with Sparks Commercial Services in Poole, thanks to the efforts of the Transport Solution Executive, Rob Coxon, who will be providing the servicing of these trucks.
On top of the servicing from Sparks Commercial Services, these trucks are on an agreed two-year, 90,000 km per annum full repair and maintenance package with Renault.
While we have previously utilised Renault Trucks, these latest additions demonstrate our satisfaction with the brand and trucks supplied. Paul Stanley, Transport Manager at W&S Waste Management Ltd, explained the decision: “Rob Coxon and Sparks Commercial Services have consistently delivered exceptional service for our other vehicles. The favourable terms and impressive features of these new vehicles sealed the deal for us.”
The new C460s are powered by Renault Trucks’ efficient DE11 litre engine, producing 460hp and 2200 Nm of torque, and are equipped with the Optidriver ATO 2612 gearbox with automatic clutch. To enhance driver comfort, the trucks feature 4-point cab air suspension, leather steering wheels, air conditioning, heated luxury driver’s seats, refrigerated bottle holders, and additional storage. Safety is also a priority, with the vehicles equipped with a 4-camera DVR system, turn-left warning, BBS reverse alarm, front and rear strobe lights, roof beacon, and two rear LED work lamps.
Paul emphasised the importance of driver comfort in selecting these vehicles: “We want to show our appreciation for our drivers’ hard work by providing them with these high-spec trucks. Happy drivers mean better performance, and these new trucks will be a welcome addition.”
Paul added: “With our operations particularly busy during the summer season, the timing of these deliveries is perfect. We anticipate that these new Renault Trucks will significantly enhance our efficiency and the well-being of our drivers, enabling us to continue to grow our business.”
The addition of these trucks will enable us to expand our Roll on Roll off (RoRo) skip delivery and collection services across Dorset and Oxfordshire.
