| 摘要： | Artificial grass and decking specialist Witch Group has added a custom-built Renault Trucks C430 P8×2/6 to its eight-strong fleet. The ability to commission a vehicle to the business' specification clinched the deal. Supplied by JDS Truck and Van, the C430 has a bespoke 8×2/6 chassis with a 9.1 m curtainsided body with fitted fall arrest, special side retainers to ease the load against the curtains, and centre poles to enable the vehicle to carry decking, astroturf and carpets. Transport manager John Carrol explained how the latest purchasing decision was based on Witch Group's experience of a 12-plate, 26-tonne Renault Truck Premium, originally working in London. He said: "The Premium is an all-rounder and gave us great insight into the capability and suitability of Renault trucks for our particular operation. It gets into both large and small spaces and, quite frankly, is remarkable on fuel; we are getting impressive high 10s and early 11s mpg and excellent aftercare experience from JDS." The chassis has been adapted to a 8×2/6 with a single reduction gear solo drive axle conversion, an Optidriver direct drive gearbox, a single reduction drive axle, a steered 7.5t rear lift axle positioned to the rear of the drive axle, as well as rear air suspension. |
