Castelan Group orders another 80 new Renault Trafic vans.
They say that there is no better recommendation than repeat business and that is exactly what Renault has achieved in the UK with the car warranty and insurance company, Castelan.
Castelan has just taken delivery of 80 2016 Renault Trafic vans that will be used for its claims handling duties in the retail sector, the new vans replace a fleet of previous generation Trafics.
After putting the order out to tender and considering light commercial vehicles from six manufacturers, Martin Napper, CEO of Castelan Group, said it was the great service that the Renault product has already delivered that made the difference.
“We were very happy with our previous Renault Trafics and after looking in detail at alternative replacements, the model yet again proved to be the best for our requirements.
“Not only was it a new design and competitive on price, but it also offered excellent fuel economy and a level of equipment that provides our technicians with what we consider to be ‘must have’ levels of connectivity, convenience and comfort.
“With our technicians in the vans for an average of four hours a day, it’s vital that they have Bluetooth to keep in touch with customers and head office, while the option of a good quality, built-in sat-nav is another essential – something that we found wasn’t available with a number of competitor vehicles.”
“Our operatives who trialled the Trafic for a week were also very positive about the drive, and when we attended a commercial vehicle test day where we were able to experience it against rival vehicles in quick succession, the Renault again came out very favourably.”
