Renault Trucks announces the launch of its Model Year 2025 heavy-duty trucks onto the market.
The new Renault Trucks T, T High, C and K models have reduced fuel consumption of up to 3% compared to the previous generation.
Following on from the introduction of the Turbo Compound two years ago, Renault says it is continuing to make its vehicles more energy efficient, with the 2025 heavy-duty models offering additional fuel savings of up to 3%.
The manufacturer has optimised various components of the powertrain, including in the gearbox, and axles, and will introduce the fitting of class A+ tyres as standard.
Additionally, the Renault Trucks T, T High, and Renault Trucks E-Tech T models now feature cameras in place of rear-view mirrors, which it says further improving aerodynamics and helping to cut fuel consumption.
These rear-view cameras, housed in folding wings, are connected to two in-cab screens that display the environment around the vehicle and feature an infrared mode to facilitate night vision.
This system is also available as an option on Renault Trucks C, K and Renault Trucks E-Tech C models.
The Model Year 2025 can be specified with adjustable power steering system, Renault says.
This enhances vehicle stability at high speeds while offering more responsive steering at low speeds, making manoeuvring easier in urban and suburban environments.
This system combines hydraulic power steering with an electric motor, using sensors to adjust the vehicle's behaviour in real time based on the truck's movements and the driver’s intentions.
A lane-keeping system with corrective steering will be available in 2025. This returns the vehicle to its lane in the event of an unintentional deviation, the firm says.
The high beam can be specified with automatic activation according to external conditions, and complements the automatic low beam already available as standard on the previous generation of trucks from the manufacturer.
For optimum visibility, additional working lamps can be fitted at the rear of the cab.
The Renault Trucks T, T High C, K ranges and the electric versions Renault Trucks E-Tech T, C model year 2025 are now available from the manufacturer's network.
