Transport has taken delivery of the last two Renault Magnums to be sold in the UK. The Magnum 480.25 6x2 tractor units join the company's 25-strong fleet.
They will run mostly on long-haul journeys to southern France, transporting specialist goods from the company's base, said MD Andy Bearryman. "The new trucks will operate on our longer distance routes and so driver comfort is a priority. The Magnum offers excellent on-board comfort, with a spacious cab and excellent storage."
First launched in 1990, the Magnum was named International Truck of the Year 1991. Its spacious 2.5m-wide cab with flat floor and generous headroom was a favourite with long-distance drivers. It is succeeded by Renault's new long-distance, Euro-6 T range, due to arrive in the UK in the autumn.
The Magnums were supplied by Renault Trucks distributor, Sparks Commercial Services and replace Scania and Daf models.
