One of Kent’s leading suppliers of concrete and aggregates, J Clubb Ltd, is strengthening its 22-strong fleet with three new Renault trucks. A 44-tonne Renault Trucks Range T480 6×2 tractor unit with Fruehauf tipping trailer and two 32-tonne Range C380 8x4s with 8 cubic metre McPhee concrete mixer bodies deliver concrete and aggregates from quarries and wharves to customers across the South East.
J Clubb’s Works Director, Colin Dring, explains why the company opted for Renault Trucks: “Our purchasing decisions are primarily driven by vehicle reliability, customer service, delivery schedule as well as competitive deals and we felt that Renault Trucks currently offered a competitive package when considered against other manufacturers.”
Renault Trucks service and back-up was a crucial factor in vehicle selection, as David Atkinson, Transport Co-ordinator, adds: “The flexibility of the Renault Trucks dealer network is a big plus. The customer service is uniformly very good, friendly and helpful. They will also collect a truck when it goes in for servicing which means the driver has time to deliver an extra load during the day which is a huge bonus in our hectic schedules.”
David continues: “Truck reliability and driver appeal were also extremely important to us. Our vehicles are heavily utilised so it’s vital that they don’t let us down. Our drivers all appreciate the ease of operation and comfort offered by the Renault Trucks cab and the automatic gearbox is a huge plus. All in all, the new T480 tractor unit is unbelievable – it’s an HGV that drives like an MPV! With Renault Trucks’ products, availability and competitive deals, it’s no wonder we are currently purchasing more Renault Trucks.”
