Renault Trucks, a part of Volvo Group, puts safety at the centre of its operations, designing its trucks to meet a clear commitment: reduce risks and create a safer road environment.
As it has shown with passenger cars, Euro NCAP offers an excellent way to raise safety awareness and strengthen standards throughout the sector. This is why Renault Trucks welcomed the programme's application to HGVs with open arms, seeing it as a new opportunity to further enhance protection for drivers and all road users.
Euro NCAP's HGV safety assessment is based on a rating system of 1 to 5 stars and covers three key areas:
- Safe driving: assessment of occupant monitoring, driver engagement, vision (both direct and indirect) and vehicle assistance.
- Collision avoidance: assessment of the management of frontal collisions (car, pedestrian and cyclist), lane-change collisions, low speed manoeuvring.
- Post-accident systems: assessment of rescue information.
The Renault Trucks T achieved a solid result with 4 stars[1] and a total score of
This result places Renault Trucks among the most engaged manufacturers in the area of safety. In its assessment, Euro NCAP praised the strong 4-star rating of the Renault Trucks T, largely due to the high quality of its advanced driving assistance systems, offering a high level of safety right from the standard configuration.
The Renault Trucks T is fitted with driving assistance systems that provide a high level of safety for the driver and other road users.
These systems include radars that detect the presence of vulnerable users all around the vehicle, triggering audible and visible alerts, along with a blind spot camera on the passenger side. An Adaptive Cruise Control system with a stop-and-go feature automatically manages stopping in traffic jams, while lane departure warning and lane keeping systems ensure steady and safe driving. Automatic emergency braking is provided to prevent collisions.
The Renault Trucks T is also fitted with a series of rear-view cameras: more compact than traditional rear-view mirrors, they increase the driver's direct field of vision, while facilitating manoeuvres and overtaking. They offer improved night vision and a wide-angle vision, enabling the driver to keep the trailer in sight.
