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.

Renault Trucks will soon enhance its electric truck offer. Moreover, the company unveiled the so-called E-Tech offer, including a series of key services that may help customers in their transition to electric vehicles. The French manufacturer announced the start of sales for 2023 of two new models of up to 44 tonnes, namely the Renault Trucks T E-Tech (pictured above) for regional transport and the Renault Trucks C E-Tech (pictured below) for the construction industry. Yesterday, Renault Trucks announced the start fo another new project together with Geodis, namely the Oxygen 16-ton e-truck.

These trucks will be able to travel up to 300 km on a single charge and up to 500 km with a one-hour intermediate fast charge (250 kW). The new electric truck models, with a gross vehicle weight of 44 tonnes, will be available in 42 and 62 tractor versions. The Renault Trucks T and C E-Tech will go on sale in the first quarter of 2023. They will be manufactured at in Bourg-en-Bresse, France.

Such an important announcement is part of a broader energy transition strategy conceived by the French manufacturer, whose plans are to sell 50 per cent electric vehicles by 2030 and to be 100 per cent carbon neutral by 2040. The new electric offering, which is named E-Tech and focuses on 360 support for customers, is set to replace the current offer of Z.E. electric trucks.

Thanks to their small turning circle, even tight areas can be easily navigated. The variety of available axle configurations and fixtures for possible attachments also makes it easy to perform short-term construction work as well as long-term maintenance.

A comprehensive range of different chassis and body options makes the Renault Trucks D the ideal distribution vehicle. Particularly in dense inner-city traffic, delivery drivers must cope with difficult conditions: high traffic volume, narrow access roads and the lively chaos of a wide variety of road users regularly create challenging situations that have to be overcome. A truck that can adapt to the requirements of its own industry can become a real game changer here.

With the D series, Renault Trucks also focuses on saving as much fuel as possible without negatively affecting the productivity of the distribution vehicles. And no compromises have been made on the comfort and design of the vehicles.

The trucks in this series can be individually customized with exclusive special features that ensure greater comfort, efficiency and safety. This allows you to find the perfect configuration for all requirements and adventures.

Least of all, of course, Mercedes, which used the GLB, Maybach Concept EQS and EQG to show that not all electric SUVs need to be the same, the AMG EQS 53 to show that electric saloons can be exciting, and the AMG One to show that it is really planning to launch an F1 car for the road. Part of the problem with sustainability initiatives is how hard it is to sustain the interest of showgoers and clients; but every brand at Munich has given hope for the future in their own way. FP

Solid state batteries seem to have been promised for as long as mass market hydrogen-powered cars, but Renault Group's director of R&D Gilles Le Borgne is confident that they will finally be ready for high-end mainstream applications from 2030. 'The joint development work we are doing with Nissan looks promising for then, and really it is a game-changing moment, as it will mean not just greater power density in the cars, but also a chance to completely rethink the application and design of battery cars.' Noting that the first wave of so-called gigafactories for the current generation of batteries will only have been on stream for around five years at that point, Le Borgne highlighted that the only way solid state could achieve rapid mass adoption would be if the same factories could be adapted to the new technology. 'The capital investment going into those factories now is incredible - we need to be mindful that they can be adapted to any significant steps forward in battery technology, otherwise the investment will never pay back."

Zellmer also said that the company has managed the ongoing semiconductor crisis "rather well". While he admitted that there have been production delays, he said that high demand for the firm's EVs was as responsible for longer waiting lists as the lack of chips. Noting that the UK order bank was "20 to 30% higher" than usual, Zellmer also said that VW currently has no plans to offer versions of cars with fewer features and chips, as firms such as Ford have done.

All BMW production sites will run on 100% green electricity this year and be carbon neutral. But CEO Oliver Zipse said CO2 needed to be cut rather than offset, so the firm has pledged to cut the CO2 of its production sites by 2030. MT

Porsche racing driver Timo Bernhard, a double Le Mans 24 Hours winner, has already tested the new Mission R - and insists that electric racing cars can be as thrilling to drive as combustion-engined ones. "They definitely are," he said, "And it's not about doing just one thing or the other. For me, it's both. I can understand there are certain reservations about electric mobility, especially in motorsport. But we've seen just how much emotion, performance and character the Taycan has, and the Mission R can bring that to motorsport." JA

Why did the Renault Group have to create an entirely new division in Mobilize? CEO Luca de Meo revealed that it is to make it easier for other companies, including rival OEMs, to co-operate with them, be it sharing technology or jointly investing in development projects. "There will be a lot of opportunities - this is the best way to show we are open to it," he said. JH

BMW design boss Domegoj Dukec is hugely proud of BMW iVision Circular, the bold 2040 concept that showcases how the brand is aiming to become a market leader in the 'circular' recycled and reusable materials. Dukec, who is used to the odd social media storm from his work on BMW's recent kidney grilles, told Autocar that he expected the concept to attract some criticism on social media, but said: "We are used to it that we get at first a lot of reactions. But we have already proven with previous concepts such as the i3 that anything we do there is real thinking behind it. When we did the first SUV people said 'what is this bullsh*t, but now everyone is doing SUVs. You have to think how things will be seen in three, four, five years." JA

The Renault Group's director of R&D Gilles Le Borgne is targeting 80% commonality for all cars using the firm's planned three platforms as his ultimate goal. "It is perfectly achievable, and I know from experience that it is possible to hit the target with commonality of the parts a customer won't see," he said. "At that level you can build 3 million vehicles off a similar platform and achieve huge cost savings, which will be crucial if we are to make our cars affordable." The philosophy will apply to Renault, Dacia and Alpine, with only the A110 replacement being co-developed with Lotus sitting outside of the strategy. JH

Volkswagen has unveiled the new ID Life concept at the Munich motor show, a compact urban crossover that previews the entry-level 17,000 car due in 2025. The concept was created by a dedicated team within Volkswagen. Company boss Ralf Brandstatter said: To create more than just a show car, we told them to create the future of urban mobility." Brandstatter added: In the future people want more. They're always on the lookout for the next great experience. The ID Life will match this feeling. This car is ready for extraordinary experiences online and offline. It will be your living space, and your companion for life."

Volkswagen presser starts with a video featuring boss Ralf Brandstatter talking about "responsibility". Adds that there's a need for cars that are compact, versatile and made from sustainable materials. JA
