24hr van service site for JDS Trucks

Commercial Motor

January 24, 2007

JDS Trucks has opened what it says is the UK's first 24-hour Renault van servicing centre.

Situated in Morley, just off the M62 between junctions 27 and 28, the site includes two new van servicing bays that are manned 24-7 by technicians who are trained on Clio, Kangoo, Trafic and Master.

"We already provide 24-7 servicing for trucks," says service director Peter Glover, "and believe we're the first in the region to provide the same kind of service for LCVs, with Renault vans as a speciality.

"For example, vans can be dropped off after a week's work, and collected again early on Monday morning ready to start work again."

Vans beat trucks at HNT

Avonmouth-based HNT, which runs a 26-strong van and truck fleet, is realising the benefits of running large vans over 7.5-tonners. MD Chris Potter tells Motor Transport that the company has recently trialled a 5.5-tonner Renault Mascott panel van, which he says proved to have significant benefits over its six MAN 8.150 7.5-tonners. He explains that not only did the van have a slight payload advantage, but its fuel economy was roughly 30% better too.
