DMV TRANSPORT TAKES NORTHERN IRELAND'S FIRST RENAULT TRUCKS TRAFIC RED EXCLUSIVE

Belfast-based delivery specialist, DMV Transport, has taken delivery of Northern Ireland’s first Renault Trucks Trafic Red Exclusive, with the vehicle’s unique and striking design, technical specification and excellent working relationship with the local dealer all cited as reasons for the new vehicle selection.

DMV Transport’s new 150bhp Trafic Red Exclusive L2H1, is a high-specification light commercial vehicle supplied by Diamond Trucks, and is fully loaded with options including factory fitted polypropylene sides and wood floor load kit, LED lights and fog lights, metallic pain, alloys, under seat storage and Apple car play.

The “Red Exclusive” is the name for Renault Trucks' recently launched exclusive range of LCVs and features a chrome grille and body-coloured bumper, together with a matching painted side door rail and light bar. Scarlet-coloured details including red ringing on the gear stick, red seat belts and wheel centre all reflect Renault Trucks' characteristic brand identity.

Added to the 15-strong van and truck DMV Transport fleet, the new Trafic Red Exclusive will be put to work on a wide range of deliveries from parcels up to pallets across Ireland, UK and into Europe including France, Spain, Italy and Poland.

David McVeigh, Director at DMV Transport says: “We run a mixed fleet including two Renault Trucks Master vans and we already have a great working relationship with Diamond Trucks who are just up the road in Newtownabbey. I also like to stand out from the crowd and I felt that the new Renault Trucks Trafic Red Exclusive, with its great specification and stylish, eye-catching good looks, was the perfect way to do just that.”

The new vehicle has a generous load capacity of up to 8.9 m3 and 1,300 kg and to facilitate loading and unloading operations, the Renault Trucks Trafic Red Exclusive’s sheet metal rear doors can be opened to 270° (with a locking catch) and the loading area has LED lighting for improved visibility. 

David continues: “As well as a sizeable payload, the loading area is substantial too, including the dimensions of the loading door and side loading door, which are wider than others on the market and provide easy access for the driver. All in all the Trafic Red Exclusive is the perfect work tool for our busy operation.”

The new Renault Trucks Trafic Red Exclusive is equipped with automatic gearbox as standard for increased comfort and efficiency and for the safety of the driver, the load and road users, it has a large windscreen and full LED headlights. It also benefits from standard ESC to help the driver maintain control and prevent the vehicle from rolling over in critical situations, front and rear radar, lane departure warning, side wind assist and blind spot warning. Finally, it is equipped as standard with an Extended Grip system that allows it to be driven on all types of terrain.

Renault Trucks puts its HGV expertise and the density of its distribution and repair network (over 70 in UK and Ireland, 1400 sales outlets across Europe) at the service of its LCV customers. In the UK, the Renault Trucks Trafic Red Exclusive comes with a three-year, 100,000 miles parts and labour warranty and 24/7 breakdown assistance.
