Hino Trucks (Novi, MI) announced two new accolades from J.D. Power and Associates. Hino Trucks ranks highest in customer satisfaction with conventional medium duty engines, four years in a row, and Hino Trucks ranks highest in customer satisfaction among conventional medium duty trucks, two years in a row, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2010 Medium Duty Truck Customer Satisfaction Study.

As competition intensifies in the medium-duty truck engine market, quality and reliability remain the most important aspect of overall satisfaction. The Engine Study, now in its fourth year, measured customer perceptions of 2010 model-year Class 5, 6 and 7 trucks equipped with both gasoline and diesel engines by looking at eight distinct factors: engine reliability/dependability; ease of access for service or maintenance; maintaining speed on grades; acceleration when fully loaded; control module (ECM); vibration at idle; engine warranty; and average fuel economy.

The Customer Satisfaction Study, now in its 19th year, measures customer perceptions of 2010 model-year Class 5, 6 and 7 commercial trucks. Within the product index, six factors are used to determine overall satisfaction: engine; warranty; cost of operation; cab and body; ride/handling/braking; and transmission. The study also measures satisfaction with services received from an authorized truck dealer. Six factors comprise the service index: service facility; service quality; service advisor; service initiation; service delivery; and service price.

Hino Trucks had the highest scores in all ratings factors for both studies. “This kind of accolade provides Hino Trucks valuable, independent feedback as we continue our commitment to exceed our customers’ performance and power expectations,” said Glenn Ellis, vice president of marketing for Hino Trucks. “Hino Trucks has built strong owner loyalty and driver satisfaction with a reputation for producing high-quality medium-duty trucks in the U.S. We are proud of these achievements and in Hino’s ability to deliver the best product in the industry.

The Suez Environment Group has been won over by the variety of vehicles available in Renault Trucks’ urban range. This autumn, the Group signed a three year framework agreement – renewable for two additional years – for the supply of 7.5 to 26 t vehicles. Refuse collection vehicles, sweepers and other urban applications offered by the Midlum and Premium Distribution will now be listed by Suez environment for its activities in France, the United Kingdom, Poland and the Czech Republic. For more exacting applications, Suez Environment will also be able to count on the Premium Lander and Kerax models.

The agreement signed between Renault Trucks and Suez Environment establishes a long-term relationship between these two major players in urban mobility. Signed for a three-year period, which can be extended for an additional two years, this framework agreement allows the entire Renault Trucks urban range to be listed by the group in France, the United Kingdom, Poland and the Czech Republic.

Suez Environment has even extended the choice of solutions offered to vehicles in the Renault Trucks Construction range. Its fleet can therefore now be renewed with Renault Trucks’ Midlum, Premium Distribution, Premium Lander and Kerax models.

Even better, the energy efficiency delivered by the urban transport solutions offered by Renault Trucks also corresponds to the Suez Environment Group’s objectives in terms of reducing the environmental footprint made by its day-to-day operations. It will also enable the Group to anticipate the even more stringent regulations in this area likely to be imposed by major European conurbations.

Renault Trucks and the Group have been working closely together for several years. Renault Trucks supplies, on average, 250 vehicles a year to Suez Environment or its subsidiaries. One of these, SITA, even contributed to the development of the Renault Trucks’ Clean Tech range by testing the brand’s very first hybrid vehicle – the Renault Premium Distribution Hybrys Tech configured for refuse collection – under actual operating conditions beginning in 2008.

With its 79,554 strong workforce, Suez Environment is a world leader exclusively operating on all five continents devoted to activities associated with water and waste. The Group supplies 91 million people with drinking water, 61 million with waste water treatment services and also collects waste from almost 50 million people.

Russian road maintenance, cleaning and repair company Rosdorstroy has decided to add 35 Renault Kerax vehicles equipped with the “Extreme Cold” pack to its fleet. Having already been chosen to work on Russian construction sites and mining operations, the Kerax will therefore now also be operating on icy roads and snowed up sites around St Petersburg, a city famous for its harsh weather conditions.

Because of its high payload, the best ground clearance on the market and its optimised pulling power, the Kerax enjoys an excellent reputation in Russia. In 2009, it was awarded the “Best HGV” prize and elected “Truck of the Year” in 2010. And now, once again, the Kerax has been adopted by a major Russian company.

For this autumn, Renault Trucks Vostok delivered 35 6×4 rigids to Rosdorstroy, a St Petersburg-based company specialised in repairing, maintaining and cleaning roads. To date, it operates a fleet of around 100 trucks, one third of which is now made up of Kerax vehicles.

The 34 ton GVW vehicles with DXi11 380 hp engines will be working under very severe, wintery conditions in St Petersburg and the surrounding area. They are therefore equipped with the “Extreme Cold” pack consisting of a system to pre-heat the engine oil when the vehicle is at a standstill to make starting up easier. It also uses specific cooling liquids capable of withstanding temperatures as low as -40°C, a fuel heater as well as an independent heating system in the cab to provide the driver with maximum safety and comfort.

It’s at the toughest times when you find out if you can count on a real partner. With the 24/7, seven days a week, round-the-clock assistance service available throughout Europe, Renault Trucks and its network do everything to help immobilised drivers get back on the road in a minimum amount of time. To fulfil this mission as well as possible, the Renault Trucks Lorraine 24/7 service has acquired a unique emergency breakdown vehicle.

Its decidedly high-tech design and brightly lit features emphasise the key role played by such a tool: serving customers who need breakdown assistance, whatever their brand of vehicle, wherever they may be, in all weathers and at any time.

Despite their great reliability, it can happen that trucks suffer a breakdown which prevents them from completing their assignment on time. But this is an assignment which directly concerns consumers. To make sure that their supermarkets receive their deliveries as planned, it is absolutely vital that trucks stranded on the roadside remain there as briefly as possible.

To achieve this, Renault Trucks operates a non-stop assistance service – the 24/7. A powerful symbol of the manufacturer’s commitment to drivers and hauliers, it operates around the clock, seven days a week. With 1,500 service points and more than 1,000 emergency breakdown repair vehicles operating, Renault Trucks is able to carry out emergency repairs quickly and efficiently. This gets immobilised trucks back on the road as quickly as possible, maintaining hauliers’ profitability and easing road congestion.

Continuing with its production of innovative vehicles, Renault Trucks wanted to equip its Renault Trucks Lorraine branch with a spectacular and unique type of emergency breakdown vehicle. The product of a close collaboration between the Renault Trucks Hall of Design (HDD) and the graphic design and multimedia development agency Trafik, its innovative look echoes the glittering world of American trucks.

If these various light sources contribute to giving the vehicle a spectacular appearance, they also serve to warn motorists of the danger ahead from a considerable distance. In the end, this results in minimising any risk of accident. A further safety concern is addressed by having the winches and booms deployed via a remote control rather than a module fixed on the bodywork.
