Renault Trucks has developed Deliver-Assist, a solution that makes urban logistics more efficient
Deliver-Assist enables drivers to optimise loading and unloading through the use of mobile containers. The Jacky Perrenot Group is set to be the first to use Deliver-Assist optimise urban deliveries to Intermarché outlets. Let's see how the system works.
Renault Trucks has developed and presented Deliver-Assist, its innovative and intelligent solution dedicated to urban logistics, designed to revolutionise city centre deliveries. Deliver-Assist enables drivers to optimise loading and unloading through the use of mobile containers. Available in various configurations (secure, isothermal and wire-mesh rolls), these containers are managed automatically and securely, guaranteeing precise traceability of the goods throughout the rounds, using a computerised system developed by partner ERECA.
Jacky Perrenot is the first to use Renault Trucks’ Deliver-Assist
The Jacky Perrenot Group is set to be the first to use Deliver-Assist optimise urban deliveries to Intermarché outlets. Among the promised benefits, the operators and delivery drivers enjoy considerably improved safety and working conditions. In addition, there is no longer any need to wrap pallets, as the goods are loaded directly into containers and delivery drivers are spared the tedious task of stowing and securing loads.
On arrival at the delivery point, the containers for each sales outlet are automatically lowered to road level by a lift, avoiding the need for drivers to repeatedly climb on and off the truck and use a forklift. There are no more risks linked to the handling of pallets and use of the tailgate. All these improvements make the drivers’ job more attractive.
Furthermore, the Deliver-Assist system reduces the time needed for loading, unloading and preparing the goods by 30%, beyond contributing “to a significant reduction in the environmental footprint of delivery rounds”, according to Renault Trucks.
