The C460s are equipped with 460bhp engines with 2200 Nm of torque, paired with an Optidriver ATO 2612 gearbox with automatic clutch. The cabs feature air suspension, leather steering wheel, air conditioning, heated driver’s seat, refrigerated bottle holders, and additional storage. Safety equipment includes a four camera digital video recorder, left turn warning, BBS reverse alarm, front and rear strobe lights, roof beacon, and two rear LED work lamps.

Stanley said: “We want to show our appreciation for our drivers’ hard work by providing them with these high-spec trucks. Happy drivers mean better performance, and these new trucks will be a welcome addition.

“With our operations particularly busy during the summer season, the timing of these deliveries is perfect. We anticipate that these new Renault Trucks will significantly enhance our efficiency and the wellbeing of our drivers, enabling us to continue to grow our business."
