A few weeks ago i was invited to drive a Ginaf HD 5380, and that is a 10X6 truck for mining. Ginaf is building about 200 of these 60- and 80 ton trucks for China, and this was the 80 ton version. The test track was in a mine, and here is the video I shot of this heavy duty mining Ginaf!

The developement of a truck never stops, that is shown here. What you see is the latest improvement on aerodynamics on the new Volvo FH. The side skirts got rubber flaps on the top and at the bottom for better streamlining.
Just a few days after the launch of the new Renault Trucks I found this on the web. It is the new Renault cab with a Volvo FM grille! I am convinced that it is a clever photoshop, but it does look good.
Could it be that this is going to be the next Volvo FM? It does make sense when you look at efficiency, it does fit on the frame and it looks good!
The new Renault construction vehicles come with the names K- and C- models. The C is the new construction range, and the K is the heavy duty version. The trucks come with two cab widths. However the photo’s don’t show that my guess is that you can order the ‘old’ Premium cab with new design, or the newly developed cab. With Optitrack, the best approach angles in the industry of 32 degrees , excellent ground clearance and a high payload Renault is doing a serious attack at the European construction market. Optidriver automated gearboxes come standard and there is an elektric parking brake. Where did we see that before?
The new construction trucks are there for GVW’s up to 120 tonnes.
Renault is launching the completely new truckrange today in one big internationa event. That means not only the new long-distance models, but also the new distribution and construction trucks.
The distribution trucks come in two models, both called ‘D’. There is the 10-18 ton model and the ‘D-Wide’ from 16 – 26 tonnes. The version with the low entry cab is going to be named ‘D-Entry’ and that one is available from 18 – 26 ton.
Looking at the photo’s we learn that the ‘old’ Midlum and 
Premium distribution cabs stay in production. Earlier Volvo gave a hint with their FE- and FL models, that use the same cabs. Smaller trucks from 3,5 – 7,5 tonnes are anounced, but not launched yet.
The D-series come with the DTi 5 and DTi 8 engines in Euro-6. Automated transmissions are standard on the complete D-range.
After months of waiting and staring at fieldtest trucks, drawings and listening to rumours here it is: The new Renault Trucks range for Euro-6!
Renault says the investment of the Volvo Group was over 2 billion Euro’s and there was an intensive testing programme going on all over Europe. Well, we sure noticed! The new T-range is replacing the Premium, but gives the Magnum comfort with the efficiency of the Premium, Renault says. The new aerodynamic cab and the Euro-6 driveline give fuel savings of up to 5% compared to the previous generations. The windscreen is set at a 12% angle and that improves the air resistance significantly.
The new long distance models have a 235 cm wide cab at the front and 250 at the back. A foldable bunk gives a lot of extra storage space in the cab. The engine tunnel is 200 mm high, or, in the top model compeltely flat, just like in the old Maggy. Renault offers the DTi 11 and DTi 13 engines in the new trucks in Euro-6.
This should be it, the new Renault. Leaked by a German website and send in by an Iepieleaks fan. Looks kind of cool up front doesn’t it? The strange green color, the antennas on the rooftop. A bit like a mean bug in this setting. Is it a giant praying mantis? No it’s the new Renault Truck! Or are we beeing fooled again, what do you guys think of it?
Keep on checking Iepieleaks.nl for the latest Renault updates! 12 June official release!

Tomorrow we’ll release the official Renault Truck photographs on Iepieleaks. So don’t forget to return to Iepieleaks tomorrow. We are on site at the official presentation to bring you the hottest Renault Truck News!
And here is is, the new Renault truck! I found this photo on internet and it looks like it is the real thing!
In a few days we are going to see the official launch, but this looks like the first photo of the truck, without cammouflage!
Hungarian transport giant Waberer, formerly known as the state owned haulage company Hungarocamion, has ordered 600 trailers at Schmitz, Europe’s trailer market leader. This order follows from a previous order of 730 trailers.
In total, Waberer operates some 2,500 trailers from Schmitz in a fleet which has around 3.000 tractors. This makes Waberer one of the biggest transport companies in Europe. One of the reasons for the Hungarians to opt for Schmitz, is the fact that Germany is an important market for Waberer, featuring many loyal customers. Waberer has calculated, it will do ten percent more work in Germany than a year ago. Here’s why more trailers are ordered than previously thought of.
Waberer has reserved some ten million euro’s to invest in the renewal of it’s fleet. Apart from the Schmitz trailers, Waberer intends to buy some 700 tractor machines as well, mainly from MAN. The one in the picture is the new DAF, where Waberer also buys trucks.
