The T High has actually been a leading option for Earl Transport given that the intro of a flagship design to the fleet in 2018 as Peter Hughes, Managing Director discusses: “I wanted something unique, something spacious and luxurious to celebrate our company’s 40th anniversary back in 2018 and the T High, with its top of the range spec, was just that vehicle. Since then, we haven’t looked back; we’ve had six further T Highs and now we are replacing them with the same model. Our experience of the T High has been outstanding, not only are they are very impressive looking, they’ve been trouble free too.”
With client service high up on the list of his top priorities, Peter reveals his gratitude for the regional Renault Trucks dealership: “JDS Truck and Van, is conveniently located just 15 minutes up the road from us. Their service is exceptional, and the staff attitude is fantastic. They are always ready to help and will get something sorted; they have never, ever let me down.”
The 13 litre T520 Highs with high sleeper taxis are fitted with the Optidriver AT 2612F transmission with automated clutch offering an optimum torque of 2550 Nm. The cars have actually been defined with Alcoa Dura-Bright aluminium wheels, repaired roofing deflector and side deflectors along with a 5-year Optivision membership. To make sure driver convenience they feature refrigerator, microwave, multimedia touchscreen, “ultimate” upper bunk that can be changed into additional storage and “comfort” cooling.
Driver complete satisfaction is a substantial factor to consider for Earl Transport, and the T-High’s leading specification is an important tool for maintaining drivers as Peter discusses: “I like to look after my drivers, they are the beating heart of the business. The vehicles are tramping, and the drivers are out most nights of the week. The cabs have been much improved, and I like to think if I was a driver that’s what I’d want in a truck, so I fit them out with extras like microwaves and fridges. Consequently, driver acceptability of the T High is exceptional; they think they are great trucks!”
“Fuel consumption is good too; we are getting top 9 early 10 mpg, so I am very happy with that. I really can’t say a wrong word about the T Highs, they are a superb addition to our fleet,” concludes Peter.
The brand-new T Highs sign up with Earl Transport’s 22-strong combined fleet on a Renault Trucks Financial Services running lease and complete Renault Trucks’ repair work and upkeep agreement.
