Renault Truck 2016

[Amice Golden]

RenaultTrucks is a French commercial truck manufacturer with corporate headquarters at Saint-Priest near Lyon. Originally part of Renault, it has been a subsidiary of the Volvo Group since 2001.

Renault first began building dedicated commercial trucks in 1906.[6] In 1956, however Renault stopped producing trucks and buses under its own name. Instead, the company Saviem was formed as a subsidiary of their own commercial products with the manufacturers Somua and Latil.[2] Lighter commercials kept on using the Renault name, however. From 1957 on, Saviem was also used as the brand name for the trucks and buses produced by the company.

As a result of French industrial policy, in 1975 state-owned Renault also acquired the truck and bus manufacturer Berliet from Citron[7] (at that time a part of the Michelin corporation). In 1978, Berliet and Saviem were merged to form Renault Vhicules Industriels. Again, the old brand names were retained for two more years while the model lineups were gradually incorporated, until in 1980 they were replaced by the name Renault.

In 1971, Saviem became a member of the Euro Truck Development Group or Club of Four, a cooperation between four European truck producers (Saviem, Volvo, DAF and Magirus-Deutz, which soon after became a part of Iveco) for the production of medium-sized trucks. Since 1975 the truck models resulting from this cooperation were built by Saviem[8] and later Renault, even until 2001. They were also sold on the North American market as the Mack Mid-Liner or Manager.

In 1978, PSA Group bought Chrysler's European operations.[9] Included in the deal were commercial vehicle operations in the UK and Spain, which at that time used the brand name Dodge. PSA however sold them on to RVI in 1983, having itself little interest in the commercial vehicle market.[10] The newly acquired operations in the UK had their origins in the commercial vehicle branch of the Rootes Group which originally carried the brand names Karrier and Commer.[11] Some of the models built there were continued in production for several years by RVI in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, who also kept the Dodge brand name for these models, albeit in combination with the Renault badge. In 1988 the company was subject to a Fire Brigades Union inquiry due to eight Dodge fire engines involved in crashes.[12] Until 1992 the UK division was known as Renault Truck Industries, after which it then took the international Renault V.I. name.

In Spain, however, where Renault already was recognized as a local automobile producer, the Dodge trucks, which originally had been developed by the manufacturer Barreiros Diesel,[13] were rebadged as Renaults and soon after replaced by French-designed models.

In 1987, Renault Vhicules Industriels took over from its parent company Renault a 42% stake in the American manufacturer Mack Trucks[14] which became a fully owned subsidiary of Renault Vhicules Industriels in 1990.[15]

In 1991, RVI purchased a 37.5% shareholding in French bodybuilder Heuliez Bus.[16][17] In 1994, RVI purchased a 34% stake in the Czech bus manufacturer Karosa, increasing its ownership to a majority 51% in 1996 and 96% in 2000.[18] In 1997 Renault V. I. entered into a cooperation agreement with the Finnish truck producer Sisu. In 2002 the company signed a deal with the Chinese company Dongfeng Motor to manufacture engines.[19]

As part of Renault's restructuring following privatisation in 1996, the heavy vehicles operations of bus and truck were divested. In 1999, the Renault and Karosa bus and coach operations were split off from Renault Vhicules Industriels and merged with Fiat-Iveco's bus and coach operations to form the jointly owned subsidiary Irisbus.[18] In 2003, Irisbus became a full subsidiary of Iveco and the brand Renault on its products was replaced by the brand Irisbus.

In April 2000, Renault agreed to terms with Volvo to purchase its truck manufacturing business with Volvo in turn to relinquish its 15% shareholding in Renault and Renault buy a 20% shareholding in Volvo.[22][23] The transaction which included Mack Trucks, but not Renault's stake in Irisbus, was completed on 2 January 2001. RVI was renamed Renault Trucks in 2002.[24] In October 2010 Renault reduced its shareholding in Volvo to 5%.[25] In December 2012, Renault sold its remaining shares in Volvo.[26]

The Renault Trucks Defense division is wholly owned by Renault Trucks and is based in Versailles, France. It trades on its 1975 acquisition of Berliet and claims to have over 30,000 vehicles in use around the world.[27] Its status as the leading supplier to the French Army was put in jeopardy in 2010 when the government placed a $214m order to Italian competitor Iveco.[28] In 2016, Volvo announced its intention of divesting Renault Trucks Defense, as part of the selling of its Government Sales division.[29]

Ian Hinks who lives near Mildura in Northern Victoria, Australia has sent me this photograph of his son's early 1920s Renault truck. They have known of its existence for almost 50 years but have only recently been able to purchase it. The engine has now been reconditioned and the truck is drivable. This may be the only surviving early Renault truck in the world. Does anyone have any knowledge of another survivor.

Euro Truck Simulator 2ProductsTrucksRenault Trucks (formerly Renault V.I.) is a French commercial truck and military vehicle manufacturer with corporate headquarters at Saint-Priest near Lyon, France. It is one of the seven brands of trucks available in this game. Originally part of Renault, it has been owned by the Volvo Group.

There are three series of transport built by Renault, the Magnum, the Premium, and the T. The T was added to the game in the update 1.35, while the electrified version of it was added to the game in the update 1.50 as a part of Quick-jobs (due to the lack of the charging infrastructure in the game). They feature very large windshields, good brakes, decent steering, powerful stock engines, and a low price tag. This would make it a good starter vehicle if a driver has intentions to hand it off to an employee in the future, especially considering that the maximum engine power of both lines are among the lowest in the game.

As of update 1.49, the Magnum and the Premium can only be bought as a used truck in the used truck dealership and the E-Tech T can only be used in the Quick Jobs (due to the lack of the charging infrastructure in the game). The table here shows the 3 different preconfigured customizable models available at Renault truck dealers in ETS2.

Hello everyone, hopefully this case study is helpful to others as i'm certainly in debt to others on here for their fantastic informative posts. I work on HD trucks and rarely write any case studies but this was one that I found interesting and really showed the power of the Pico.

This truck came in with a P228f00 code, Fuel regulator at maximum learned parameters. It was not active at the time but stored in memory and the truck sounded smooth with no signs of misfire etc. Freeze frame data showed it occurred reasonably frequently, about 2-3 times per day with the driver reporting a limp mode condition when it happened.

Looking for TSB's I found one in relation to this code. It explained that this code is set after 15 seconds of continuous running where the fuel regulator is at maximum (it did not specify which regulator). It explains that fuel pressure is still within spec so does not set a 'fuel pressure too low' code. This injection system has 3 regulators.

After a little bit of research I confirmed the operation of the system. While being a common rail system this system utilises 3 standard solenoid injectors and 3 pumping injectors. The pumping element of the injectors purpose is to supply the rail with pressure, these are camshaft activated and look much like the Delphi E3 injectors yet internally do not operate the same. The pumping injectors also have a solenoid injector combined with them so essentially we have 6 solenoid injectors with three pumps attached to three of them. Each of the pumping injectors have a regulator and there are two pumping phases for each injector per camshaft revolution, so 6 in total.

Checking the camshaft showed no visible signs of rotation although this was always in the back of my mind as I have seen them move before very slightly and become difficult to diagnose. I also checked pumping injector preload at this stage and found all in spec.

To help meet the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to under 1.5 degrees Celsius compared with pre-industrial levels, Renault Trucks is committed to transforming the truck market by gradually electrify its fleet to become carbon-neutral within 30 years. As trucks have a lifespan of at least ten years, all trucks manufactured by 2040 must run without fossil fuels. Battery-electric and fuel cell electric power will be crucial to achieve this major transformation towards carbon-free transport.

Renault Trucks now boasts a comprehensive all-electric range on the market, from 3.1 to 26 tonnes. Comprising the Renault Trucks D Z.E., D Wide Z.E. and the Renault Trucks Master Z.E., it meets the requirements of urban transport, delivery, distribution and waste collection.

But Renault Trucks is seeking to extend vehicle electrification to all uses. Preparations are underway to market a Z.E. tractor to meet the needs of regional and inter-regional transport from 2023. An all-electric offer designed for urban construction will also be available to order by this date.

"Electric mobility is the pillar of our strategy and we aim to lead the field," announced Bruno Blin, President of Renault Trucks. "We're aiming for 35% of our sales to be electric in 2030. By 2040, all our vehicle ranges will be 100% fossil-free."

On the R&D side, Renault Trucks intends to meet the main technological challenges of this revolution through strategic partnerships, as well as relying on synergies within the Volvo Group, to which it belongs, to increase volumes and reduce costs.
