The 2024 heavy-duty range incorporates driver assistance technology and emergency braking systems to ensure the safety of drivers, their loads and other road users.
The manufacturer has fitted radars and cameras all around the vehicle, increasing the driver's field of vision. These devices are said to ensure the safety of road users, simplify manoeuvres, and reduce the risk of accidents. As an option, up to five cameras can be added to monitor the vehicle's environment, its load or the fifth wheel during coupling.
Drivers are automatically advised of tyre pressure levels on the truck and trailer and are alerted in the event of any anomalies, thus avoiding excessive fuel consumption or tyre blowouts. The vehicles also feature a speeding alert system, Intelligent Speed Assist, with a camera that detects the speed limit and warns drivers if they are exceeding it, thus avoiding accidents and fines.
Finally, for reducing fuel consumption and, therefore, carbon dioxide emissions, the vehicles can be equipped with the Optivision Map Based system, which transmits topographical data to the on-board computer as the journey progresses in order to optimise gearshift strategies.
The Check and Map modules of the Optifleet fleet management software are also included, to control and optimise driving style and plan journeys even more efficiently. This function is available as standard on Renault Trucks E-Tech T & C.
In the cabin, the dashboard features a new 12-inch adjustable main digital display, complemented by a secondary multifunction touchscreen featuring an Android Automobile interface for access to applications. Drivers can use the steering wheel controls to operate the main display and secondary screen functions in safely, including phone calls and music controls. To make driving easier, the screen also displays navigation aids and camera views.
