Renault Trucks launches new version of lightweight truck

AB Volvo’s subsidiary Renault Trucks is now launching a new version of Renault Mascott, a lightweight distribution truck that is available with two engine alternatives.

The new Renault Mascott is equipped with a new gearbox, new driveshaft and new engine. Two engine alternatives are available, 130 hp or 150 hp, which meet the European Euro 4 emissions standard. In addition, the Renault Mascott features a new, effective brake system that provides the shortest braking distance in the lightweight truck segment.

The Renault Mascott is one of Renault Trucks best sellers in its segment, with nearly 15,000 vehicles sold during 2006. Deliveries of the newest version are expected to start at mid-year 2007.
