Word reaches Biglorryblog that leading UK food retailer, Iceland, has taken delivery of not one but 29 Renault Premium 450.18, 4x2 tractor units - no mean deal as they're the first Renaults to join the company's 310-strong fleet. The Euro-5 trucks are all fitted with the Optidriver+ gearbox so easy-peasy for the drivers too. Now click through here for more... And not a word about Kerry 'What'shername' from me either...

According to the officia PR blurb: "The new trucks will be based in Swindon and Enfield and have been purchased to fulfil store deliveries, accommodating the growth that Iceland is currently experiencing and supporting the additional 70 new stores due to open this year. Meanwhile, David Hill, distribution contracts manager, at Iceland, tells me: "We chose to add Renault Trucks to our fleet as we felt that these high spec trucks offer excellent value for money. We were also impressed with the fuel performance of the Renault Premium demonstration unit. With the company growing at a successful rate, we need reliable, cost effective vehicles and we believe that this is something Renault Trucks can offer." And for the record Iceland is one of the fastest-growing British food retailing businesses with almost 700 stores throughout the UK. Ahhh... But do they have a store in Reykjavik eh?
