Renault are no strangers to the commercial vehicle market with their Magnum tractor unit being a favourite for a wide range of businesses and drivers. However, in more recent years Renault have turned the focus of their HGV department on to the T-Range.
The T-Range is Renault’s primary line of commercial vehicles which contains many favourites such as the popular T460 and innovative T High. Each model has slight differences that set it apart from its relatives within the T-Range, for example with the flat floor of the T-High which has become a very desirable feature for drivers.
In this guide, we will take you through the things that you should consider when looking to buy a Renault T-Range tractor unit.
What will the truck be used for?
The intended use of a vehicle is an important consideration but is especially important when it comes to the Renault T-Range. At their core, the T-Range trucks are light construction vehicles however Neil Willis, Renault Trucks UK brand and retail sales manager for used trucks believes the trucks will see greater use in the recycling sector due to the trucks’ increased on-road performance.
If you’re looking for something heavy duty that will be able to carry heavy loads over rough terrain that may be found on a construction site then another option may be the better choice. However, the Renault T-Range is still perfectly capable of performing this function.
Emissions standards
As with any HGV purchase, it is important to consider the emissions standards that are present in country. In the UK and for most of Europe the emissions standard is Euro 6, with Euro 6 rated vehicles being eligible to travel in the clean air zones across the country.
Advantages of Renault T-Range Trucks
The Renault T-Range is optimised for comfort, control, and performance. Renault claims that their T-Range trucks can offer up to 10% fuel savings and CO2 reduction increasing the profitability of the trucks. The fuel economy of these trucks is supported by Renault’s ECO cruise control mode which ensure drivers can remain comfortable and the vehicle can perform to its potential.
Driver convenience is also well thought out in Renault T-Range trucks. Renault have included large amounts of storage, both interior and exterior, that drivers can use to store whatever they may need on the road. This makes the T-Range an attractive choice for use on longer range journeys.
Security and safety are also key with the T-Range with LED lights as standard on newer models as well as various assistance systems such as emergency braking and hill start assistance. These features have been included by Renault to improve the driving experience and safety of their T-Range vehicles.
How to choose the best used Renault T-Range truck
Timing and location are the key to finding the best deal. However, we recommend that you purchase from a trusted dealer as they will be able to tell you the full history of the truck and will complete an inspection of the truck before your purchase is finalised.
