Chronology
Predecessor Renault Premium Route/Renault Magnum

The Renault Trucks T is a range of heavy-duty trucks manufactured by Renault Trucks. The truck was presented on 11 June 2013 with a show called R/Evolution [2] and was introduced at the end of 2013, being the first from a new line of vehicles for the company.[3][4]

Design

The last of the major European manufacturers to introduce a Euro VI compliant vehicle, chief designer Hervé Bertrand was allowed to design a Renault vehicle. Although using some common parts from the new Volvo FH series, the design was seen as a step-forward inspiration from the Renault Magnum, with a front grille area was inspired by a conveyor belt and a completely unique design cab area, designed for long distance international trunk routes.[5]

Characteristics

The Renault Trucks T includes the robotised Optidriver transmission as standard, improved aerodynamics to reduce fuel consumption and new comfort and security features.[3]

Engines

The T offers two Euro VI six-cylinder engines, the 11 L DTI 11 (with a power output of 380, 430 and 460hp) and the 13 L DTI 13 (440, 480 and 520hp).[3]

Awards

On 23 September 2014, the Renault Trucks T was voted International Truck of the Year 2015 [6] during the IAA motorshow in Hanover.
