The vehicles will be used as part of the company’s ‘Chillnet’ operation, providing deliveries to wholesalers, food service depots and manufacturing locations, for clients such as Gerber Foods and Dairy Crest.

With daily operations to locations across the UK, a fuel efficient fleet was cited as a top priority for Langdon Industries’ Fleet Engineer, Graham Millard, “We had a Euro 5 Renault Premium delivered in January and have been monitoring its fuel performance since then. It is running AdBlue at 5.7% and even at this early stage we have already seen a two and a half percent increase in average miles per gallon over the Euro 3 models. We are confident that this will improve even more over the coming months, meaning significant fuel savings from the Euro 4 and Euro 5 models across our fleet.”

“We have always had excellent on-going support and back-up from Renault Trucks South West and all the Renault Trucks on our fleet perform very well,” says Millard. “Our latest order of Euro 5 Renault Premiums came off the back of our positive experience of the existing trucks on our fleet as well as the impressive results of our fuel monitoring programme, which we are very happy with.“
