Topaz Energy Group Ltd, Ireland’s largest convenience and fuel retailer, has recently taken delivery of a number of new Volvo trucks from Dennison Commercials Ltd. With three rigid Volvo FE tankers and one FM tractor unit delivered to date, this is the beginning of an extensive replacement scheme to improve the efficiency and reliability of the fleet, with a number of safety related features specified.
According to Andrew McKay, Operations Manager: “By choosing Volvo, with its multi-point camera system and the auto braking system, I’m confident that we will reduce our operational risk on the road. I have already received positive feedback from our drivers.”
The Topaz vehicles are fitted with Dynafleet, Volvo’s telematics system, which provides real time information on vehicle positioning, driver activities and vehicle performance, therefore maximising fuel efficiency and fleet usage, and controlling the environmental footprint and live feed of driver activity and remaining driver hours.
Ray Dolan, General Manager for Topaz, is already familiar with the professionalism and reliability of Dennison’s service, and explained the decision to purchase Volvos for the fleet replacement. “When we went out to market we evaluated a number of manufacturer brands, but were most impressed by the total package offered by Dennison’s and the Volvo product, coupled with the service coverage available in Ireland. Dennison’s service levels are measurable, and have been demonstrated by impressive MOT pass rates, out-of-hours breakdown response times, parts availability and general customer satisfaction.”
