A Northamptonshire haulage company is celebrating its 25th anniversary by adding a Marvel-inspired Renault truck to its fleet.
D&D Transport said it wanted its new superhero-themed truck to help the family-run business mark its birthday in a unique, stand-out way. It includes images of some of Marvel’s favourite characters, including the Ultimate Spiderman, Captain America, the Incredible Hulk and the Avengers.
Dave Palmer, managing director, said, ‘Our new truck has certainly got heads turning. We wanted a truck which not only celebrated our anniversary but one that was unique and different, grabbed attention and recognised something that the whole team enjoys.’
To create such a detailed and extravagant design, D&D Transport looked to East Midlands Renault Trucks dealer, RH Commercial Vehicles (RHCV). The two teams have been working closely together for more than eight years, with RHCV providing the facilities and vehicles required for D&D Transport to both expand and accommodate future growth.
The RHCV team also gave the new truck a first-class service, upgrading the truck with additional commodities and gadgets, including a four-way camera, a spotlight and microwave, ensuring the vehicle was a luxurious experience for the driver.
Dave added, ‘The purchase follows an excellent period of growth at D&D Transport and RHCV has been a significant part of that. In the past couple of years, we have expanded our fleet and moved from a half acre site to a two-and-a-half-acre site to enable expansion. This truck is the latest investment, which will ensure we are delivering an excellent haulage service to all our customers.
‘We are expecting even more growth over the next few months and we are already planning for the upcoming boom at Christmas, returning to RHCV for their truck and rentals solutions when we need them.’
Paul Pearson, commercial director at RHCV said, ‘Working with D&D Transport on an exciting project and design was an honour for us. Over the past eight years, we have developed a strong relationship with Dave and his team and we were delighted that we could deliver a such an amazing truck to celebrate D&D Transport’s 25th anniversary.’
