Launched at Euro 6 in 2014, the Renault Range T was a totally brand new cab design. Aerodynamic and futuristic looking that, like the Magnum that went before, was a little head of its time. The brand is not well loved in the UK, but the truck is well built (Renault Trucks is part of the Volvo Group) and the Range T is a solid workhorse that is usually well priced. There is always a decent selection of Range T trucks for sale at Truckpages. These trucks are usually tractor units, (the rigid trucks tend to use the Range C ‘construction’ models) and the power outputs are 460hp for the earlier T460 and 480hp for the later T480. Unlike most manufacturers, Renault decided not to use conventional naming for their trucks – perhaps you might expect ‘T Range’ rather than ‘Range T’ – in fact many people do switch it around.
Euro NCAP comment: “The Renault Trucks T earns a strong 4-star rating due largely to its high-quality Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS), getting balanced points across both Safe Driving and Collision Avoidance, most of which is standard fitment. It is more limited in its direct vision performance, although its recent addition of a CMS system has improved its overall Safe Driving score. The Renault would also benefit from a cyclist turn across path function. Combined with the more limited direct vision, this makes it more suitable for the highway, rather than the city.”
Renault Trucks Range T Model Year 2025 Euro NCAP Datasheet
2022 saw the introduction of turbo compounding to the Range T which gave the trucks a fuel saving of up to 10%
2025 Model year Range T trucks benefit from an additional 3% improvement in fuel consumption, thanks to the optimisation of components in the drivetrain – the gearboxes and axles plus the fitment of A+ tyres as standard. The 2025 model year sees the replacement of the rear view mirrors with cameras which help fuel consumption. These rear-view cameras, housed in folding wings, are connected to two in-cab screens that display the environment around the vehicle and feature an infrared mode to facilitate night vision. Additional benefits of the 2025 model year Range T are the adjustable power steering – based on speed and movement and the lane keeping system.
After travelling 23,000 kilometres across Europe, Renault Trucks' Diamond Echo electroluminescent electric truck brought its roadshow to a close in Finnish Lapland. This final leg, marked by temperatures as low as -19°C, demonstrated the reliability of electric trucks, even in extreme winter conditions. Since leaving the manufacturer's headquarters in Lyon last April, the Renault Trucks E-Tech Diamond Echo, an electric and electroluminescent truck, has covered 23,000 kilometres in Europe. It was driven through France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium and Germany, completing daily stages of up to 700 km thanks to optimised management of intermediate charging.

From the second part of 2025, Renault Trucks will be taking orders for an extension of its Renault Trucks E-Tech T model. With a range of 600 km on a single charge, this vehicle makes electrically-powered long-haul transport more feasible. Innovative technology driving performance The increased range of the Renault Trucks E-Tech T is achieved by integrating a new component - an electric axle. E-axle technology enables all the elements of the powertrain – electric motors and transmission – to be grouped together at the rear of the vehicle, freeing up space between the side members to accommodate additional battery…

Established in 1977 and based in East Yorkshire, the family-run transport firm specialises in general haulage and heavy-duty plant and machinery transport in the UK and Europe. Its fleet comprises 24 trucks and 54 trailers and it also operates a storage yard. As transport manager Wayne Johnson explains, that was how the company first got a look at the new Profi Liner HD. “We already had some Krone trailers on the fleet that we’d purchased second-hand,” he explains, “So we were also familiar with the product. “We needed a couple more trailers adding to the fleet anyway, because we were…
