BJS Haulage were thrilled to take delivery of a Renault Trucks E-Tech T 4×2 on a trial in partnership with Renault Trucks UK and Renault Truck Commercials. Following on from the successful trial of the 18T rigid vehicle earlier this year, the 42T capacity of the T range will give us further insight into electrification as a choice for our more regional and urban operations, helping us reduce emissions while maintaining our high levels of service. The vehicle has been put through its paces already on our regional BJS Home Delivery collections, alongside shunting movements between warehouses, and we’re excited to explore how this technology can shape the future of a more sustainable approach to bulk freight movements.
