CoolKit, the UK’s largest specialist in temperature-controlled light commercial vehicles (LCVs), has secured the highly coveted Renault Pro+ Certified Converter agreement issued to qualifying converters by Renault UK on behalf of the Renault Group.
Valid for 36 months, the accreditation recognises CoolKit’s ability to consistently deliver refrigerated vehicle conversions to Renault’s high standards and follows a thorough assessment of the company’s engineering, manufacturing and quality processes.
It further enhances CoolKit’s long-standing relationship with Renault Group, creating new opportunities to collaborate on future vehicle programmes, including the Renault Master E-Tech and the brand’s innovative Estafette Concept.
The latest accreditation is one of a growing number of manufacturer partnerships and approvals held by the Blackburn-based company, bolstering its reputation as a trusted conversion partner across the commercial vehicle sector.
Seb Brechon, Head of Commercial Vehicles & Pro+ Brand at Renault Group, said: “We are exceptionally pleased to continue our successful relationship with Coolkit. For more than 20 years they have been a trusted partner, producing conversions that meet ours and customers’ exacting standards. This latest development underlines their expertise and paves the way for them to produce several new products, using the multi-award-winning Master E-Tech for short-term projects and also the manufacture of a brand-new product based on the forthcoming Trafic E-Tech platform. This bespoke conversion will see Renault enter an exciting new area for growth, offering an alternative to standard shopping delivery vehicles that aims to cater for multidrop deliveries as well as single product orders.”
CoolKit CEO Rupert Gatty welcomed the accreditation, describing it as an important milestone in the company’s ongoing partnership with Renault.
Rupert Gatty said: “Upholding this certified standard is a major moment for us and shows the high standards we strive towards with our conversions. We’ve worked closely with the Renault UK team since our inception, so it’s great to see that relationship formally recognised in the new Renault Group style.
“As a manufacturer, Renault SAS has some exciting developments in the pipeline, which present exciting opportunities for us to play a big part in their journey, continuing to lead the way in temperature-controlled conversions for Renault products.
“For temperature-controlled fleet operators and for the Renault UK dealer network alike, this accreditation provides added confidence that they’re choosing a conversion designed and built to Renault’s exacting standards, backed by a close collaboration between manufacturer and converter.”
The accreditation was formally presented during a recent meeting between senior representatives from Renault Group and the CoolKit leadership team, where discussions focused on future opportunities and innovations within the temperature-controlled vehicle sector.
