Myers Group gains traction with Euro 6 Renault Range Ts17 March 2014

Traction haulage firm Myers Group has taken delivery of its first Euro 6 vehicles, two Renault Range T460.26 TML E6 6x2 tractor units.

The Maidstone-based company operates a dual purchasing policy for its 50-strong fleet – 25 DAF and 25 Renault Premium 460s – with half on outright purchase and half on contract hire through BRS. The Range T units are supplied on a full repair and maintenance contract hire arrangement with BRS.

Fuel performance from the Renault Premiums was a key factor in the decision to move to Range Ts, as Myers Group's managing director Tony Myers explains: "The Renault Premiums are strong on fuel and the Range Ts have been good from the off. They're continuing to do very well, achieving 8.8 miles to the gallon which is around the same as the Premiums.

"It's early days as they've only been on the road for three weeks, so we expect their fuel efficiency to improve."

The new tractors have been acquired to meet an upturn in business. "We're very busy," adds Myers. "Once we've evaluated the first two Range Ts fully, we'll be speaking to BRS about adding further trucks to our fleet, and with a view to replacing the Premiums throughout 2014."
