The vehicle was unveiled at Hope’s recent concrete showcase event in Cardiff, Wales, in front of 50 Welsh building professionals. It will deliver a range of ready-mixed concretes and flowing screeds to construction sites across Wales and the south-west of England.
It has been bought and will be operated by P&T Woodruff Haulage Ltd, a contract haulage company working for Hope Construction Materials. This is the first of a series of Euro 6 editions to Hope’s expanding fleet, as it expands to meet the growing demand for ready-mixed concrete.
Brian Lomas, Hope Construction Materials’ regional transport manager says: “We are delighted that P&T Woodruff Haulage has added this exemplary vehicle to its fleet to deliver Hope’s concrete. The combination of first-class environmental credentials through the Euro 6 spec, and the maximum efficiency of the 8m3 delivery load, makes this truck a great match for our business and our values.”
Joint managing director of P&T Woodruff Haulage, Tim Woodruff says: “As business is booming, we needed to increase our capacity and the Range C was the natural choice. Normally we have a standard sleeper cab but because we are travelling further afield and need more flexibility we have specified a high roof sleeper cab with in-cab comfort extras.”
Peter Harris, Renault Trucks Cardiff, says: “It’s great to see P&T Woodruff Haulage take delivery of the UK’s first Renault Trucks Range C concrete mixer. They have been a good customer to Renault Trucks Cardiff for nearly three years and I knew Tim would be tempted to try our new Euro 6 truck from the minute it was launched.”
