Historically, Renault Premium has not been the truck of choice for hauliers. But those who did choose it, rarely regretted their decision. Recently. Premium has shaken off its poor market perception and, increasingly, it can be found on fleets like GE Smith, Hingley Transport and TDG.
This truck should tick most, if not all, the boxes for a new owner, whether they are owner-driver, transport manager, or boss. It is Euro-4, so meets the LEZ 2012-compliance for work in the capital, it has an automated transmission and a decent engine that can more than cope with 44 tonnes.
WA56 AZD produced a strong fuel figure on the A-road and motorway, the engine, still working well within itself, responded strongly to the challenges on the A-road.
In the current climate, with late-year trucks in Euro-4 and 5 specifications in short supply, this truck should have no trouble finding a home regardless of its condition. That this truck is clean and tidy, with decent mileage and a proven record, will only add to its desirability.
