Renault Trucks T: the perfect vehicle for boosting productivity
The Renault Trucks T range was designed for long-haul travel. It is the best-suited vehicle for batch transport. The Renault Trucks T or T High model offers reliability, high performance and incredible comfort. When combined with Renault Trucks’ services, you can boost your business’ profitability and increase uptime. The Euro VI engine ensures high commercial speed and excellent driving comfort, whilst limiting pollution and fuel consumption.
Long-haul transport: comfort before all else
Those who drive long distances are passionate about being on the road, and about their job. They spend countless hours behind the steering wheel, which means on-board comfort must meet their highest expectations. When loading their belongings, especially heavy items, they can use the outer storage area and access it from the inside. Once on board, the advanced cab offers outstanding visibility and makes manoeuvring easier when loading and unloading.

Spread your costs out in the long-term
In the field of long-haul transport, any logistical issues can have major repercussions. In order for you to spread out your expenses and limit any unforeseen events, Renault Trucks offers Start&Drive contracts which include a personalized maintenance plan ranging from 2 to 5 years and up to 155,300 miles per year - depending on the vehicle selected and its usage. As such, you can reduce your immobilisation costs, make administrative work easier, and ensure high vehicle performance on the long term.
Furthermore, thanks to its extensive network in the UK, Ireland and across Europe, your vehicles can be looked after quickly and efficiently without needing to return to their home base.
Reduce your fuel costs
The fuel consumption of a driver has a real and direct effect on yourbottom line. Renault Trucks vehicles are developed to consume as little as possible. The Renault Trucks T cab has a trapezium shape and a 12° slanted windscreen to enhance air flow and reduce consumption. Our DTI 11 and DTI 13 engines were also designed to provide good commercial speed.
The Renault Trucks T or T High models can have other options added to them, making them even more efficient, thanks to their Eco Fuel pack which includes:
- An Eco Cruise Control mode on the Optidriver automatic gearbox
- A detachable air compressor
- A variable steering pump
- Automatic engine stop
Nonetheless, we all know that consumption does not only depend on the vehicle, but also on how it is driven. Training drivers in efficient driving plays a major role in reducing your entire fleet’s consumption. To help you with this, Renault Trucks has its Optifuel solutions available. You can have access to extremely precise consumption data for all your vehicles, as well as information about how they are being used.
Long-haul transport: follow up on deliveries in real time
In the same way as unforeseen maintenance is never welcome, unexpected logistical events are quick to have a negative effect on your activity. Our smart Optifleet fleet management solution can be used to efficiently schedule your journeys, and visualise your vehicles in real time thanks to the geo-tracking option. You can easily access consumption data and driving time for each vehicle. If a customer changes their order or if you see that you can add in a delivery, you are able to redirect drivers, or simply appoint a new job to them without hassle.
Finance your long-haul transport vehicles
Renault Trucks is available to help you finance your vehicles. Our various formulas adapt to your international transport activity, and to the high mileage it entails. For instance, we offer an all-in-one dedicated finance leasing solution, so you can keep full control of your TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) without any nasty surprises.
