== Fleet == === Renault Magnum units === AAN Transport became closely associated with the [[Renault Magnum]], which served as its primary long-haul vehicle. The company preferred the Magnum because of its high cab, flat-floor layout, and suitability for long-distance international road work. By 2026, eight Magnums formed the core of the fleet. These were used mainly for urgent pallet freight, boxed industrial goods, and mixed commercial loads between the Netherlands and Greece. The tractor units were typically finished in dark maroon with modest company markings. Most were operated with curtain-sided or closed box trailers depending on route and cargo sensitivity. === Renault Modus cargo conversions === The standard Renault Modus vehicles used by AAN Transport were not ordinary passenger cars. They were custom commercial conversions based on the production Modus body shell. The rear side windows were removed and replaced with steel body inserts, creating a panel-van style layout. A fixed metal bulkhead was installed behind the front seats, and the rear floor was flattened and reinforced to carry light but urgent cargo such as documents, electronics, and small parts. These converted Modus vehicles retained their compact footprint, which made them suitable for urban collection and last-stage delivery. They were also useful for avoiding the operating costs of larger vans on smaller consignments. Four such vehicles are still used today, all finished in dark maroon. === Extended Renault Grand Modus staff cars === AAN Transport also used customized [[Renault Modus|Renault Grand Modus]] vehicles for the transport of senior company members and trusted internal personnel. These were not standard Grand Modus models. They were coachbuilt stretched versions, lengthened beyond factory dimensions for rear passenger space and comfort. The extended Grand Modus cars used by the company were reportedly modified by adding a reinforced mid-body section, a longer rear passenger compartment, strengthened floor supports, revised rear suspension, and heavier insulation. Their approximate overall length was around 4.30 m, compared to the shorter standard production form. They retained the basic Renault platform and drivetrain layout, but were adapted for smoother long-distance travel, quiet operation, and private transport use. The rear compartment usually contained two individual seats with increased legroom, additional side trim, darker rear glazing, and separate storage space for documents and personal luggage. Three such vehicles are still used today. Within the company, they were reserved for higher-ranking personnel and were used as chauffeured staff cars.
