The new Renault Trucks were presented last week in a strange, military green colour. That gave the truck a look that could not make me decide if I liked it or not.. Now here is the new top model of the range in silver, and that looks much better!

Dongfeng D760
The Chinese keep suprising us with new models. Here is the DongFeng 760 as 6×4 tractor unit. The truck has a ‘European Style’ spacious cab and looks good!
Driving the Ginaf Mining truck!
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!

Volvo, aerodynamic rubber flaps
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.
The next Volvo FM?
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!
Renault Construction: K and C
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 new distribution trucks
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.
New Renault Trucks: Official launch!
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.
