“Because of its camouflage, we nicknamed our Croner the Zebra! The Zebra has been in our fleet for 4 months. The drivers love the truck. It’s very comfortable for long-haul trips, loading is easy, and the automatic gearbox is a pleasure for them.

The long-range tank comes as a standard. This is a fantastic selling point for the vehicle as it means the drivers don’t need to carry loads of cash for refueling and also don’t have to stop for refueling. This really reduces the risk for your people and your cargo. 

For cross-border transportations, you always want to load as much as you can in the smallest vehicle you can. With the long-range tank, your fuel consumption is better and you can deliver more cargo. It’s definitely more cost efficient for any company.”

“Croner is very powerful. The brakes are great, when you put your foot on the pedal you know the truck is going to stop. And the steering is very soft. The cab is high and offers good vision and comfortable seating. This truck made me feel safe.”
