The move introduces three new levels of cover – Driveline, Driveline Plus and Extend - which delivers a more comprehensive product.
The new Safe & Sound HGV product has been designed to cover more components, keep operating costs down and help keep vehicles on the road for longer.
According to WMS, the overhaul has seen the mileage agreed at inception increased, with the warranty now covering additional expensive components relevant to trucks as well as components for cabs. This means extra peace of mind for drivers and busy transport operators that expensive bills are covered.
WMS Opteven has further enhanced the new product offering with a simplified claims process to speed-up the process of making warranty claims.
Mark Bobbins, head of commercial sales at WMS Opteven, said: “As a result of the transformation of multi-channel fulfilment and the growth in online sales and warehousing, the HGV sector has become significantly more sophisticated in its requirements. That is why it is vital our HGV extensive warranty programme meets the needs and expectations of our valued customers.
“From my experience of the sector, I know that the common problems my customers need addressing are cutting down on operating costs and creating efficiency. Our new bespoke Safe & Sound quality HGV warranty with our simplified claims process for those that want to drive further efficiency is tailored to do exactly that. Furthermore, it works brilliantly as an extended warranty but equally well as a product to help keep existing vehicles on the road for longer, which is something that transport managers are looking to do.”
