Renault Pro+ Commercial Vehicles will start offering supplied and fitted signwriting from £215 excluding VAT from the end of April.

The French manufacturer said that for many commercial vehicle customers the thought of adding sign writing to a vehicle is often not considered until the ordered vehicle is at the dealership or even if it has been on the road for some time.

Renault is aiming the new service at sole traders and SMEs, where maximising the vehicle’s time on the road is essential to profitability.

Ordered at the same time, or soon after, the van sale is completed, the sign writing is created within three standard templates. These allow the customer to add their logo, expertise/services offered, a website address and business telephone number. Font type and colour can also be specified. The signs are for the each side of the van and the rear doors or tailgate. Once happy with the design, Renault will fit the vehicle with it at its UK import centre before delivering the vehicle.

Steve Wilson, LCV range manager, Groupe Renault UK, said: “This innovative solution embodies Renault Pro+ Commercial Vehicles ambition to provide an ‘EasyLife for Professionals’.

“Supporting businesses of all sizes to be ready for work is part of our customer commitment.”
