Renault Trucks improves cabs and safety in T, T High, C and K models

Renault Trucks has unveiled a range of safety and cab improvements to T, T High, C and K models.

The manufacturer says it has optimised cab interior fittings to combine comfort and ergonomics, as well as equipping its trucks with advanced driver assistance technologies to improve on-road safety.

These features will also be available on the fully-electric E-Tech T and C models.

The new dashboard features a 12-inch adjustable main digital display, complemented by a secondary multifunction touchscreen featuring an Android Auto interface for access to apps.

The screen also displays navigation aids and camera views. The vehicles can also be fitted with an inductive phone charger.

T, T High C and K models also feature a steering column that can be adjusted in three directions.

Renault Trucks has fitted radars and cameras all around the vehicle, increasing the driver’s field of vision.

These devices help ensure the safety of road users, simplify manoeuvres and reduce the risk of collisions.

As an option, up to five cameras can be added to monitor the vehicle’s environment, its load or the fifth wheel during coupling.

The vehicles also feature tyre pressure monitoring, a speeding alert system, intelligent speed assist (ISA), with a camera that detects the speed limit and warns drivers if they are exceeding it.

They can also be equipped with the Optivision map-based system, which transmits topographical data to the on-board computer as the journey progresses in order to optimise gearshift strategies.
