Trucks RENAULT

Renault Trucks provides a comprehensive range of commercial vehicles, from the Master light commercial vehicle platform to the T-series heavy-duty tractor units designed for international long-haul transport. The core powertrain lineup includes the DE11 and DE13 engine series, delivering power outputs from 380 hp to 520 hp and complying with Euro 6 Step E emission standards.

Renault trucks for sale: business solutions

Renault Trucks organises its vehicle offerings by application, ensuring optimised solutions for specific industries. For long-haul operations, the T and T-High models are primary, while the D-series serves regional and urban distribution with GVWs from 3.5 to 26 tonnes. In the zero-emission segment, the all-electric E-Tech T/C ranges provide solutions for regional transport and urban construction logistics, offering a Gross Combination Weight (GCW) of up to 44 tonnes and an operational range of up to 300 km with a 540 kWh battery pack.

Load capacities and engine options

The core of the heavy-duty range is the 11-litre DE11 and 13-litre DE13 engine family. The advanced DE13 Turbo Compound engine variant integrates a secondary turbine to recover waste energy from exhaust gases, converting it into mechanical power and reducing fuel consumption by up to 10%. This powertrain is frequently paired with Optivision, a predictive cruise control system that utilises GPS and topographical map data to pre-emptively adapt gear shifting and vehicle speed to gradients, further optimising fuel use. Gross Combination Weights for the T-series tractor units typically extend to 44 tonnes, with special transport configurations rated for up to 120 tonnes.

Renault pricing and acquisition costs

Used Renault trucks: price overview

The secondary market for Renault trucks offers a wide range of pricing based on age, mileage, and specification. A 2019-2021 Renault T 480 with 400,000 to 600,000 km typically falls within the €30,000–€55,000 range. A D-series 18-tonne distribution rigid from the same period is often listed between €25,000 and €42,000, depending on its bodywork and condition.

New Renault trucks: specs and pricing

The acquisition cost for a new Renault truck is highly dependent on its configuration. A standard T-series 4x2 tractor unit starts at approximately €95,000. This price can increase to over €160,000 when equipped with the DE13 Turbo Compound engine, high-end interior packages, and comprehensive Serenity packs, which are Renault's repair and maintenance contracts. The initial investment for the electric E-Tech T/C ranges is substantially higher, often starting from €250,000–€350,000 before government subsidies.

Optidriver gearbox and chassis durability

The Optidriver automated 12-speed gearbox is a standard feature on nearly all heavy-duty Renault models. It enhances fuel efficiency through optimised gear selection logic and includes functionalities like Optiroll (controlled free-wheeling). For severe applications, such as those faced by the K-series, an Optidriver XTREM version with a reinforced clutch and specific software logic is available. The chassis is built with high-tensile steel C-profile side members of 7mm or 8mm thickness, with options for inner reinforcement to withstand the torsional forces of tipper or concrete mixer subframes.

Buying Renault via Truck1 commercial platform

Truck1 operates as a specialized B2B marketplace, aggregating listings for new and used Renault trucks from a network of verified dealers across Europe. The platform's search functionality allows prospective buyers to filter inventory by specific technical criteria, such as engine series (e.g., DE13 TC), cab type (T-High sleeper), emission standard (Euro 6), and transmission type (Optidriver). This enables direct comparison of price, mileage, and equipment levels for similar models available in different markets.

The platform facilitates initial contact with sellers and provides access to a diverse range of configurations that may not be available locally. If you cannot find a specific configuration, you can submit a targeted request through our I'm looking for form.
