Renault Trucks, a subsidiary of the Volvo Group since 2001, manufactures its tractor units at the Bourg-en-Bresse plant in France. The current range is built around the T series, launched in 2013 as the successor to the legendary Premium and Magnum ranges.
The 12-speed Optidriver automated gearbox (manufactured by Volvo) is among the smoothest and most efficient on the market. The Optivision system uses GPS and mapping to pre-select gears based on route profile. The Optidriver AT2612F versión includes automatic neutral (Eco-roll) to reduce motorway fuel consumption.
The standard T has a day cab with low roof (1,980 mm interior). The T High raises the roof to 2,070 mm and offers a completely flat floor, wider bunk (800 mm) and more storage. Both versions share the same chassis and mechanicals — the difference is exclusively the cab.
