Renault Trucks is pleased to launch a ‘Ready for Business’ range of pre-bodied Luton, Tipper and Dropside vehicles built on the Renault Master by Renault Trucks platform. Pre-converted by Renault Trucks’ nominated coachbuilder, VFS Southampton, with full European vehicle type approvals, the Ready for Business range can be delivered from stock or with short body lead-times. All the vehicles in the range come with a three-year (or 100,000 mile) warranty for both chassis and body.
“Designed with customers in mind, our Ready for Business range provides the ideal specification for a multitude of applications,” says Richard Chamberlain, LCV Manager, Renault Trucks. “The excellent build quality and performance of the Master provides the perfect vehicle for this hardworking series and we are delighted to be working with VFS, one the UK’s premier body suppliers for vans, to ensure build integrity throughout. This pre-converted range, ready for work and with competitive prices, low maintenance costs and extended service intervals, together with the back-up and support of our network of commercial vehicle workshops, is an attractive, business-focused offer for van operators.”
