What does a two-shift pallet operation need from its trucks? Flexibility. 🚛 Ryan Waite, Operations Director at Inter-Haul Pallet Services Ltd, on the two Renault Trucks T 460s joining the fleet as the family-run haulier celebrates 25 years: “The freight coming back through the network varies from one night to the next, both in weight and type, so we need a truck that can adapt to whatever the operation demands. The T 460 gives us that flexibility.” Keeping them available matters just as much. Director Mark Waite on the support from Sparks Commercial Services: "Having Sparks on our doorstep makes a real difference. Ordinarily, getting a truck to and from a workshop means bringing in a driver and arranging transport both ways. Sparks can collect the vehicles when they are not working, complete the inspections and have them ready for us again the following morning." Read the full story here: bit.ly/4hSRCPF

25 years in business and two silver and blue Renault Trucks T 460s to celebrate it. They're Inter-Haul Pallet Services Ltd's first new Renault Trucks tractor units, following a successful six-month trial of two used trucks from Sparks Commercial Services. 🚛 Based at the Swindon depot, the trucks work two shifts. By day, local and regional pallet distribution, with an Anderson power lead for tail-lift trailers. ☀️ By night, double-deck trunking to Pallet-Track's Wolverhampton hub. 🌛 The trucks have been specified for the job. 460hp, up to 2,200Nm, 12-speed Optidriver transmission and Optivision Map Based + Traffic Info. A safety package with Adaptive Cruise Control, side radar and Advanced Emergency Braking supports Inter-Haul's FORS Gold standard. Sparks Commercial Services backs it up with a full repair and maintenance agreement, with inspections on the weekends so the trucks stay on the road during the week. Congratulations to everyone at Inter-Haul on 25 years. 🎉 Read the full story here 👉 bit.ly/4hSRCPF

Renault Truck Commercials has supplied five Renault Trucks D16T 4x2 rigids to IAA, marking the first time the operator has introduced Renault Trucks into its fleet. IAA supports insurers, fleet companies and government organisations, managing the collection, processing and auction sale of accident-damaged and written-off vehicles. Operating nationwide across the UK with a fleet of more than 140 transport vehicles, IAA moves hundreds of vehicles every day. The new Renault Trucks are powered by 250hp Euro 6 engines and fitted with car transporter bodies from J&J Conversions in Andover. Delivered on a seven-year repair and maintenance contract, each truck is expected to cover 80,000km every year. Colin Casselden, UK Operations Director at IAA, commented, “For us, it is about getting the right vehicle for the job, but also the right support behind it. The Renault Trucks D 16 suited the application well, and the team worked closely with us to make sure the specification and body build were right for what we do day to day.” 📣 Read the full story ➡️ bit.ly/4yXiwNw

Built for a demanding operation. 💪 IAA is one of the UK's leading digital marketplaces connecting vehicle buyers and sellers, supporting insurers, fleet companies and government organisations. Recently, Renault Truck Commercials supplied five Renault Trucks D16T 4x2 rigids to IAA. Operating in a high-pressure environment, each vehicle typically completes between three and six collections per day within a 100-mile radius of its depot. 📢 “We are not running trunking operations," said Colin Casselden, UK Operations Director at IAA. "Our vehicles are out all day, every day, collecting from different locations, often on tight routes and under time pressure. It is a demanding job for both the vehicle and the driver, so reliability and suitability for the application are key.” 📢 Neil Cox, Sales Director at Renault Truck Commercials West, added, “We worked closely with Colin Casselden and his team to ensure the D 16, the body build and the seven-year Repair and Maintenance package were all aligned to their operation. We are pleased to see the first Renault Trucks now in service and look forward to supporting IAA over the life of the contract.” Read the full story today 👉 bit.ly/4yXiwNw

We recently partnered with Scottish Wholesale Association and Vertellus UK to assess whether electric heavy goods vehicles can match and, in some places, exceed diesel performance on local wholesale routes. Over the past year, Scottish Wholesale Association and Creed Foodservice Ltd trialled 18-tonne Renault Trucks E-Tech D eHGVs under real-world operating conditions. ⚡ The results are clear: ♦️ Up to 95% of short and regional journeys are achievable using eHGVs ♦️ eHGVs consistently matched or exceeded diesel performance in local multi-drop operations ♦️ Operators reported lower running costs ♦️Average battery usage of just 36% ♦️ 10-13 tonnes of CO₂ savings per vehicle, per year Drawing on our extensive expertise and the Vertellus Discovery Programme, we can provide tailored guidance for your business and operations, providing you with real-world insights.
