RENAULT TRUCKS TAKES POLE POSITION AT TIP-EX 2019

Building on its strong performance in the construction sector, Renault Trucks is to announce the full line-up of its enhanced Ready for Business bodied stock range at Tip-ex 2019.  Stand A11 will feature two of the top sellers, a Range C430 8x4 muck-away tipper featuring Thompsons Loadmaster body and a Range C460 Wilcox-bodied insulated aluminium aggregate tipper. 

Also creating a buzz on the stand will be the striking Range T520 High Sport Limited Edition, Renault Trucks’ prestige 6x2 flat floor model in Sirius yellow paint scheme, the iconic colour of Renault Sport Racing and its F1 machines.

Meeting the demands of operators with an immediate need for a bodied vehicle, Renault Trucks’ strengthened Ready for Business offer will include mixers, skip loaders, 8x4 hook loaders, sweepers and other models available to order in partnership with leading UK bodybuilders including McPhee, Boughton and Johnstons as well as Thompsons and Wilcox.

Visitors to Stand A11 will see a Range C460 8x4 fitted with high steel bumper that sets the standard for ruggedness and obstacle clearance on site. Equipped with a Wilcox insulated aggregate tipper body, the Range C460 is powered by Renault Trucks’ DTi 11 litre Euro VI engine, which produces 2200 Nm of torque and is coupled to an Optidriver 12 speed automated manual transmission system with Optivision gear shifting strategy optimised for FUEL ECO.  The high spec’ vehicle comes with Alcoa aluminium wheels, 4-point cab air suspension with ride-height control system and Ultimate Alu cab interior with leather steering wheel.

Designed for muck-away work, the Renault Trucks pre-bodied Range C430 8x4 with Thompsons Loadmaster steel-bodied tipper is an impressive combination that provides superior pulling power with outstanding payload capacity. Offered in off-road N3G 8x4 form, the Range C Tipper is powered by Renault Trucks’ 11 litre, 430hp (2050 Nm) engine.  Behind this is an automated Optidriver 12 speed transmission system with Optibrake retarder. 

Undoubtedly this year’s big draw is the result of Renault Trucks and Renault Sport Racing’s pooled expertise in design, manufacturing excellence and technological innovation to create the ultimate in driving performance – the limited edition T High Renault Sport, 6x2 Pusher TML. Production quality reveals itself in the finest details of this limited edition: yellow overstitched leather upholstery, triple-coat paint technology, well-considered finishes and interior styling.  

The T High Sport is equipped with a flat floor cab and an outstanding combination of space, comfort and well-appointed working and living areas appealing to both drivers and operators alike.  Performance comes from Renault Trucks’ 13-litre DTi engine rated at 520hp which is coupled to an Optidriver 12-speed automated manual transmission system.  With only ten T High Sports being made available in right hand drive form, this is a rare chance to see this limited edition vehicle up close.

In addition, customer vehicles and other specialist vehicles from the Renault Trucks range will be on display on stands around the Tip-ex show.

Renault Trucks offers a fully-integrated service for all sectors of the construction industry from brick and block, aggregate delivery to quarrying, for both on and off-road applications.  Tip-ex 2019 provides operators the ideal opportunity to discover more about Renault Trucks’ range of fuel efficient Euro VI-compliant trucks and the first class service support from its dealer network.
