Renovate a truck It is a very important step, because unlike cars, these vehicles are intended to carry out transportation tasks and are an important axis for the profitability of a company. Unlike cars, trucks travel more kilometers and are in operation for more hours, generating a need for renewal, being important to evaluate at the time of renewal if the current unit meets the needs or preferably we migrate to a model with greater capacity of load according to the need of the business.
