Renault launches iCare maintenance in the UK
Filed under:Aston Martin, Bentley,
Renault has launched a new maintenance service designed for the commercial vehicle user to ensure down time is kept to a minimum and compliance legislation is fully adhered to.
Renault iCare uses telematics to provide "pay-as-you-earn" pricing and hands-free communication with the driver. Each vehicle will feature a four-way communication button. One button will provide the driver with direct access to Renault Assistance whenever help is required, while the other three buttons are assigned to Renault iCare for operational and administrative support, the emergency services and one of the customer’s choosing, usually his or her fleet manager.
The service ensures the customer's Renault van is maintained on time by monitoring the vehicle age and mileage and advising the driver when the next service or MOT is required.
Renault iCare will co-ordinate the vehicles routine servicing and MOT, will manage the repairs required, and maintain electronic copies of all service, maintenance and repair work carried out, plus MOT documents to ensure the vehicle is compliant with legislation. For vehicles greater than 3.5T GVW, the fully fleet managed service, maintenance and repair packages also include compliance and document management with regard to operator license obligations.
The service is available on the
Renault commercial vehicle range,
Kangoo Van, Trafic and New Master from new, or on vehicles that have covered less than 12,000 miles and are under 12 months old.
Renault UK’s Darren Payne, Director, Fleet and Commercial Vehicle Operations, said, "We are proud to launch this pay-as-you-earn maintenance system for Renault van drivers and fleets."
