Since 2020, Compass Energy – a sister company of Rockley Transport – has provided essential fuel delivery services to homes, farms, construction sites, and industrial plants.
Delivering throughout Bristol, South Wales, the Southeast, The Midlands, and Lincolnshire, Compass has held a strong relationship with RH Commercial Vehicles, a Renault Truck dealer and purchased a Renault Trucks D26 Wide 6X2 rigid truck with a tanker body.
Why Renault Trucks?
Stuart Morgan, Managing Director of Compass Energy, explains: ““The trucks look smart and perform well. Their manoeuvrability is impressive – which is an important factor as they are required to get into tight spots.
“We have been impressed with the service from RHCV in the past. The R&M package and quality of service has been fantastic. With the recent acquisition of Coventry and the location of Leicester, they are even more convenient for us. This was another key factor for opting for the Renault.”
Built for fuel distribution challenges
The D Wide has robust capabilities, but its compact chassis allows for easy navigation through built-up urban areas – perfect for the congested city areas that Compass serves.
The vehicle features a tight turning radius and precision steering, perfect for deliveries in confined areas. The cab design enhances visibility with well-placed mirrors, an external sun visor, and a passenger-side vision door with a lower clear window to reduce blind spots – enhancing safety for both drivers and pedestrians.
Tank and safety features
The tanker is equipped with a 20,000-litre Cobo Tankers fuel tank, fitted in Spain, that features specialised equipment as well as safety enhancements, including a reversing warning buzzer that alerts other road users and pedestrians.
To support operational efficiency, the truck is covered by a seven-year full Repair & Maintenance (R&M) package, ensuring regular servicing, breakdown cover, and a parts warranty – minimising downtime and maximising fleet performance.
A long-term partnership
Compass Energy’s seamless experience with RHCV has reaffirmed its decision and establishes a partnership that looks set to continue for years to come.
