Renault is inviting businesses to experience its best-selling LCV range this summer with its Renault Pro+ Business Booster Roadshow.
To be held at some of the most iconic motor racing circuits and venues in the UK, the unique roadshow is designed to provide small business owners and fleet managers with an all-encompassing insight into the Renault Pro+ LCV brand together with invaluable assistance from industry experts on the intricacies of managing fleets within their businesses.
Commencing at Cheshire's picturesque Oulton Park, the Renault Pro+ Business Booster Roadshow will highlight the three elements that make up the Renault Pro+ brand: specific products that meet customers' requirements, services dedicated to LCV buyers and a specific dealer network that offers enhanced benefits to LCV customers.
As part of the Renault Pro+ Business Booster Roadshow, the well-known venues will be used to demonstrate fully the advanced safety features, driving dynamics and driver assistance systems of Europe's best-selling LCV range.
A large number of people are expected to attend and their test drive experiences will show how such innovations as Grip Xtend and Trailer Swing Assist – both standard on the Renault Trafic and Renault Master – work to maintain traction on loose surfaces and help the driver to regain control in the event of a trailer starting to weave, respectively.
The on-track session will also include exercises that illustrate the vehicles' performance and efficiency, plus the suitability of the Renault Kangoo Z.E. – Europe's best-selling 100 per cent electric van – for use in urban environments in a specially constructed city course. Guests will even have the opportunity to enjoy a high-speed driving experience where a professional driver will give them a thrilling ride around the legendary venues in a Renault van.
Away from the track, participants will benefit from a Regulatory Authority Advice seminar by the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders) and the FTA (Freight Transport Association). As part of the presentations, which will include advice on aspects such as sustainability, safety, fleet management and even local funding and support, there will also be a Q&A session where guests can consult the assembled experts on issues that may be affecting their own business.
Additionally, Richard Farleigh, Dragons' Den star and renowned entrepreneur, will deliver an inspirational talk on "˜Entrepreneurship and building a business'.
Nick Tame, Sales Director, Groupe Renault UK, said: "The Renault Pro+ Business Booster Roadshow perfectly illustrates the care we have for our customers and our unwavering commitment to provide them with unrivalled support throughout their Renault experience. In addition to allowing them to experience the full capabilities of our vehicles back-to-back and in a controlled environment, the roadshow will give them invaluable assistance that they will rarely have the opportunity to access."
