erous ground clearance, the off-road mode which comes as standard on the automated transmission and Optitrack, a hydrostatic traction system on the front axle. Models approved for off-road working are also avail- able when even greater mobility is required. As for the vehicles in the Renault Trucks K range, their even greater ground clearance and excellent approach angle allow them to clear significant obstacles and deliv- er outstanding pulling power, over any the terrain. Their high precision steering and tight turning radius make them extremely maneuverable. The Optidriver gearbox, fit- ted as standard on the C range, is now also available on the reinforced by the dynamic and accurate roadholding offered by the C and K ranges both on-road and off-road. For its Construction ranges, Renault Trucks has also designed heated and adjustable rear- view mirrors in two blocks that guarantee optimal visibility in all weathers. In addition, the vehicles are equipped with cornering lights that provide maximum safety when maneuvering, whatever the conditions. Furthermore, the Renault Trucks C and K ranges are equipped with systems to safe- guard drivers and their loads such as, for

example, the automatically applied electric parking brake when the engine stops, the Hill Start Aid system and the anti-intrusion alarm. The Renault Trucks C and K ranges have been designed to meet the needs of cus- tomers operating on construction sites or supplying them. In addition, earthmoving and demolition, the transport and delivery of building materials or ready-mix concrete are all activities for which the manufacturer can supply appropriate vehicles. The performance of the C range in terms of payload, fuel consumption, driving comfort and reliability is perfectly in line with the needs of operators whose business involves delivering building materials and carrying ready-mix concrete. Furthermore, its capac- ities in terms of engine rating, pulling power and ground clearance make it highly effi- cient in meeting the demands of most earth- moving operators. For its part, the K range is specifically designed for heavy earthmoving operations, demolition, construction equip- ment transport and road building that call for heavy load capacity, ruggedness, obsta- cle clearance and power. b

Furthermore, the technical qualities of the Renault Trucks new Construction ranges will allow customers to benefit from greater cost efficiency since the new Euro 6 engines deliver a hitherto unrivalled level of per- formance. With its optimised curb weight, the Renault Trucks C range offers an out- standing payload which can be as much as 22.8 tonne for an 8x4. The Renault Trucks K range offers a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of up to 50 tonne and a Gross Combina- tion Weight Rating (GCW) of as much as 120 tonne. The vehicles also have several pre-equipment options which help simplify body mounting operations and enable them to be carried out more quickly, making vehi- cle delivery times up to 20 % shorter. Last but not least, the vehicles are pre- equipped for installing Optifleet, the Renault Trucks fleet management solution which makes it possible to increase operating profitability. The Renault Trucks C range features out- standing pulling power enabling it to operate over all types of terrain, thanks to its gen-
