Myers Transport hails Renault truck a game changer

Already delivering an impressive 11 mpg, the new addition marks a crucial leap forward in the company’s mission to drive down fuel costs further and to lower its environmental impact. With a second Turbo Compound set to join the fleet soon, the company is strengthening its commitment to efficiency and sustainability.

The new truck is operating with the company’s core business hauling continental ferry trailers across the UK and is already exceeding expectations. “This is the first Turbo Compound on our fleet and we’re seeing an average of 11mpg from it, which is a game changer for our business,” said Tony Myers, Myers Transport’s managing director. “We operate 10 other Renault Trucks T520 Highs, which have always been economical to run, but the Turbo Compound takes it to another level.”

Equipped with Renault Trucks’ DE13 TC engine, the engine’s Turbo Compound technology optimises fuel efficiency and performance, providing increased torque, resulting in improved engine responsiveness. For greater fuel savings, Renault Trucks’ Smart Torque Control solution maximises the time spent in the zone with the best engine efficiency to deliver the required torque when needed.

Additionally, the Optivision Map Based gear shift strategy for FUEL ECO anticipates topography and ECO Cruise control with Optiroll, works to further control fuel consumption.
