The Renault Trucks T series represents a collection of heavy-duty truck models manufactured by Renault Trucks. Initially revealed on 11 June 2013 at the R/Evolution event, this line was officially launched by the end of that year, establishing itself as the brand's premier offering. It succeeded the Renault Premium and Renault Magnum ranges, with a focus on serving long-haul transportation needs. In 2023, an electric version was added to the lineup, broadening Renault Trucks' commitment to eco-friendly mobility solutions.
Design
As the final prominent European producer to introduce a vehicle compliant with Euro VI standards, Renault Trucks assigned chief designer Hervé Bertrand the task of developing a unique model. Although it shares certain elements with the Volvo FH series, the Renault Trucks T’s cab design draws inspiration from the Renault Magnum. Its front grille takes design cues from a conveyor belt. The cab arrangement prioritizes driver comfort and operational efficiency, particularly suited for extensive international freight routes.
Characteristics
Standard equipment on the Renault Trucks T includes the automated Optidriver gearbox. The vehicle also boasts refined aerodynamics aimed at reducing fuel consumption, alongside enhanced comfort and safety systems.
Engines
Two six-cylinder Euro VI engines are available for the T: an 11 L DTI 11 offering power outputs of 380, 430, and 460hp, and a 13 L DTI 13 available in 440, 480, and 520hp variants.
Awards
The Renault Trucks T received recognition as the International Truck of the Year for 2015 during the International Motor Show Germany held in Hanover on 23 September 2014.
