Murphys Truck Rental in Dublin take on the New Euro 5 Mitsubishi Fuso

March 22, 2011 - PRLog -- Murphys Truck hire have run Mitsubishi Fuso Rental trucks in Ireland for over 25 years. This association has proved fruitful for both companies. The Mitsubishi trucks have proved themselves to be both reliable and capable of operating in even the toughest of enviroments.

According to John Murphy, Leasing Manager for Murphy's " The new Fuso trucks are a product that we have been very anxiuos to get our hands on. The Euro 5 engines offer a class leading combination of power and fuel economy, two things that our customers really want." The fuel economy issue is becoming very inportant in the truck rental sector in Ireland. Diesel at the pumps is now over €1.50 per litre. This has resulted in a shift in demand for truck rental types from consumers. According to John, " customers now are looking to see what are the most fuel efficent vehicles that they get. So we are seeming a move away from older vehicle types". Visit http://www.vanrentals.ie for details

This move toward more modern vehicles is a trend in the commercial vehicle sector in Ireland. The introduction of the Doe test has reduced the number of older vehicles on the road. This is very apparent in the Truck rental secotr around Dublin. Most vehicles are now purchased new by the hire companies compared to decades past where most vans and trucks were purchased used.

The new Mitsubisih Fuso trucks come with a 3 litre engine that produces 130bhp, it is also fitted with a 6 speed gearbox. The addition gear is a welcome addition to truck hire customers who do a lot of motorway miles around Dublin, as fuel consumption can be reduced by as much as 10% compared to the older specifiction rental truck.
