Renault Pro + (that eleven new authorizations will join next year in England) will unite therefore the services that “Bussines Centre“ had already offering and, also, it will try to encourage the collaboration between the different concessionaires and workshops to offer a quality standar for commercial vehicles, this is: vehicles of up to eight tons.

It turns out to be curious that for his opening Renault he has invited Mark Webber (will it be because there are confirmed the rumors of which Grosjean will not continue next year?), although, logically, to who probably they had resorted it would be to Fernando Alonso, but since it already will not cover with Renault, the Gallic manufacturer to mentioned that they have decided in favor of Webber (broker of Network Bull Racing in Formula 1, as you will remember) because his single-seater competes with engines Renault (certainly, curious the image where Webber is seen on board of one of the first commercial models made by Renault).

To mention, finally, that Pro + will offer like attraction in the concessionaires who her integrate rapid reviews (based on diagnoses route software), personalized financing and with rapid intervals of study (maximum 48 hours, they mention), and complimentary vehicles faced for the commercial fleet, between others.
