Renault unveils new urban vehicles at Freight in the City Expo

Renault Trucks will be unveiling new vehicles at next month’s Freight in the City Expo (Alexandra Palace, London; 7 November), including a new urban concept truck.

Promising the load capacity of an eight-wheeler with the manoeuvrability of a six-wheeler, the Range C320 8x4 tridem (pictured) has a 2.3m cab variant and comes with factory-fitted extra axle adaption. The smaller, lower cab has a factory-fitted ‘vision’ window and shorter front overhang.

Its rear-lifting axle, meanwhile, enables a tighter turning circle and keeps the vehicle closer to the kerb when turning left – reducing the high-risk gap for cyclists.

Also on show will be a Range D18 Wide 4x2 R Low 250 E6 with Boughton’s skiploader body – Renault’s lowest entry Range D skiploader with a step height of 375mm.

Equipped with factory-fitted vision window in the nearside door, the vehicle is specified with full CLOCS safety system including cycle sensors and the Roadcrew 4 camera system with recorder.

Renault will also be showcasing two vehicles from its pre-bodied LCV ‘Ready for Business’ range – a Master Welfare van and a Master Optilogistics van – with its third party convertor Bri-Stor Systems.

The Master 3T5 Welfare van L3H2, designed using new composite materials, provides a comfortable, legally-compliant environment for up to seven operatives, their tools and PPE to be moved to and from site safely within the 3,500kg threshold.It has a fully-equipped relaxation area with kitchenette, as well as storage and toilet facilities, and is available in FWD, RWD and a new 4x4 driveline.

The Master Optilogistics, meanwhile, is designed for multi-drop operations in the parcel and logistics sector, and is available at 3,500kg or 4,500kg.
