For its new Construction vehicles, Re-
nault Trucks is offering two distinct
ranges: the C Construction range and
the K Heavy Construction range to meet
customers’ needs as efficiently as pos-
sible. This results in the Renault Trucks C
range, available in two cab widths, focus-
ing on high payload, low fuel consumption
and comfort on a par with that of a long-
distance vehicle. Furthermore, its excel-
lent pulling power and obstacle clearance
capacity will also make it attractive for
earthmoving applications. For its part, the
Renault Trucks K range sets new standards
in terms of ruggedness and obstacle clear-
ance capacity as well as featuring the best
approach angle on the market. The new
vehicles benefit from an improved power-
train, with the new Euro 6 engines and also
a highly distinctive cab.
These new ranges have been designed and
developed in close association with interna-
tional customers, who have been involved
in the project from the design stage right
through to testing under actual operating
conditions. The Renault Trucks K range has
been tested under particularly gruelling con-
ditions such as log transport in Cameroon,
carrying 120 tonne loads in Oman and also
mine-working in Turkey. The reliability and
endurance tests carried out on these new
vehicles have been the most stringently ex-
acting the manufacturer has ever used in its
entire history.
The cab is one of the most striking features
offered by these new construction vehicle
ranges, since it is more spacious, more com-
fortable and more ergonomic with its use of

been incorporated into the design, allowing
drivers to easily check the load. The vehicles
offer failsafe ruggedness with reinforced
protection for all exposed parts liable to suf-
fer impacts and the all-steel bumper which
is available on the C and K ranges. These
new vehicles have outstanding technical ca-
pacities, with excellent ground clearance, a
