NEW RENAULT TRUCKS RANGE: CENTRES OF PROFIT SERVING CUSTOMERS' BUSINESSES

Renault Trucks is taking advantage of the switch to the Euro 6 standard to
totally renew its entire range. This renewal has been the object of an
investment by the Volvo Group of over €2 billion and the most stringent testing
Renault Trucks has ever carried out in its entire history. The aim is clear: to
supply its customers with a perfect, reliable and high-performance tool which
will allow them to keep their costs under control. More than ever, Renault
Trucks considers a truck to be a centre of profit which must never let its
customers down, make its drivers proud and protect their businesses.
The presentation of the new Renault Trucks Euro 6 range on 11 June is an
outstanding event - for it is the first time that any manufacturer has ever
renewed its entire range at a single stroke. This has led to the Volvo Group
making an investment of €2 billion in the project and Renault Trucks carrying
out the most stringent testing program of its entire history.

For quality and reliability is not something that just happens – it evolves over
long hours of testing and research. Since 2008, this process has led to 300
vehicles covering 10 million km in quality tests plus 5 million additional hours
of bench tests - at temperatures ranging from -40°C to +60°C).

Designed and developed in close association with 50 international customers, the
new range aims to give users a perfect tool for carrying out their assignments.
For Renault Trucks, a truckis a profit center, which never let customers down
and which make their drivers proud, while at the same time protecting customers'
businesses.

To achieve these goals, Renault Trucks is offering a completely new range of
vehicles for Long Distance, Construction and Distribution applications.

The Renault Trucks Long Distance range

With this new Long Distance range, Renault Trucks has introduced a homogeneous
offering, consisting of a single vehicle whose modular design means that all
customer needs can be met right across the long distance transport sector. The
Renault Trucks T” has been designed to offer haulage companies the perfect
balance between fuel savings and life on board. With its aerodynamic cab,
developed and tested with the aid of a wind tunnel, the T combines the Premium
Long Distance’s efficiency and low fuel consumption with the Magnum’s comfort
and prestige – in a single new vehicle. It also offers an improved powertrain
with new Euro 6 engines, and a totally new cab.

Loyal to the precepts of the Premium Long Distance, Renault Trucks’ new T range
helps cut its owner’s fuel costs, as its performance-improving design and new
powertrain enables the T to achieve some of the lowest fuel-consumption figures
on the market. These are down by up to 5% compared to the previous generation
despite constraints imposed by the new Euro 6 standard.

The new Long Distance range offers numerous unprecedented benefits. At 2.5
metres wide, the Renault Trucks T cab is more spacious, more comfortable, and
has an extendable bunk as well as an upper bunk that can be used for extra
storage ifrequired. The engine tunnel is now just 200mm high and completely
disappears in the flat floor version. The optimised driving position boasts new
seats designed by RECARO®for Renault Trucks, an ergonomic dashboard with 7 inch
central display (the largest on the market), and the option of rearranging the
positions of the control buttons. The T also offers a storage compartment that
can be accessed both from inside and outside the vehicle, plus a door opening
angle of 85°. Drivers have the benefit of a number of driver safety aids,
including cornering lights and a multi-function three-way adjustable driving
wheel.

As for engines, the Renault Trucks T features Euro 6 DTI 11 and DTI 13 engines.
The whole range is fitted with the Optidriver automatic transmission, which now
has a new gear change management system. The T also boasts a brand new air
control system (Electronic Air Control Unit or EACU), a variable flow steering
pump to improve consumption and Diesel tank capacity of up to 1,475 litres.
Maintenance has been made easier by separating the electrical harness path from
the hydraulic harness path in the vehicle body, with electrics on the right and
hydraulics on the left.

If the need arises, drivers can use the ‘24/7’ button on their dashboard to
instantly geolocate their vehicle and report all its technical data, making it
even easier for one of Renault Trucks’ 1,600 sales and service outlets worldwide
to take charge of the vehicle. The T is also configured to integrate Optifleet,
the Renault Trucks fleet management solution that increases operational
profitability. In addition, Renault Trucks is maintaining its proven fuel saving
solutions, including Optifuel Infomax, which analyses performance, monitors fuel
consumption, and, when combined with Renault Trucks instruction in fuel
-efficient driving, (already used to train over 25,000 drivers to date), can
reduce overall fuel consumption by up to 15% across an entire fleet.

The Renault Trucks Construction and Heavy Construction ranges

For its new Construction vehicles, Renault Trucks offers two distinct ranges -
the C Construction range and the K Heavy Construction range - in order to meet
customers' needs as efficiently as possible. The Renault Trucks C range,
available in two cab widths, predominantly focuses on high payloads, low
consumption, and comfort comparable to that of a long-distance vehicle.
Furthermore, its excellent pulling power and obstacle clearance capacity will
make it highly attractive to customers in the earthmoving sector. Meanwhile, the
Renault Trucks K range sets new standards in terms of ruggedness, obstacle
clearance and also offers the best approach angle on the market. The new
vehicles benefit from an improved powertrain, with the new Euro 6 engines and
also a highly distinctive cab.

Among the many features offered by the vehicles in these new construction
ranges, the most outstanding include the more spacious, more comfortable and
more ergonomic cab, with its rotating buttons. A step on the side of the vehicle
has also been incorporated to enable drivers to more easily check their load.
The vehicles demonstrate ruggedness capable of withstanding the toughest
conditions by offering impact protection for the most exposed parts and all
steel bumpers, available on both the K and C ranges. Finally, they boast
outstanding technical characteristics, with excellent ground clearance, a GCW
(Gross Combined Weight) up to 120 t and the best approach angle on the market
(32°) for the K range.

Optitrack, the hydrostatic traction system on the front axle, which provides
temporary extra pulling power, is available on the C range. In contrast, the K
range includes conventional all wheel drive versions.

The vehicles are equipped with cornering lights, the automatic Optidriver
transmission as standard and an electric parking brake applied at engine
shutdown, together with several provisions for body mounting.

Furthermore, thanks to the Renault Trucks new Construction ranges' technical
qualities, customers will be able to benefit from greater cost efficiency since
the new Euro 6 engines deliver a hitherto unrivalled level of performance and
fuel consumption lower than their Euro 5 predecessors. In addition, with its
optimised curb weight, the C range offers an outstanding payload which can be as
much as 22.8 t for a 8x4. The K offers a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of up to 50
t and a Gross Combination Weight (GCW) up to 120 t. These vehicles also have
several options of provisions for simplifying body mounting operations, allowing
them to be carried out up to 20% quicker, making vehicle delivery times
shorter.

With its Optifuel Programme, Renault Trucks offers its Construction sector
customers' instructors or fleet managers a comprehensive instruction module for
implementing personalised improvement plans with long-term follow-up. These are
provided by Optifuel Infomax and Optifuel Training, a "home-made" instruction
program in economic driving. In addition Optifuel Training offers a specific
module for driving on construction sites. This programme makes our customers
independent and can result in them reducing fuel consumption by as much as 15%.

The Renault Trucks Distribution range

When designing its new Distribution range, Renault Trucks drew upon its
expertise, its familiarity with the sector's activities and the environment as
well as the known and acknowledged advantages of the current range. However,
although the new Renault Trucks Distribution range is based on preceding models,
it has evolved into a much clearer offering which consists of a single range and
three models capable of meeting all its customers' needs.

Renault Trucks now offers three models in its D range: the Renault Trucks D, a
model from 10 t to 18 t; the Renault Trucks D Wide, a model from 16 t to 26 t
and the Renault Trucks D Access, a model with a low entry cab from 18 t to 26 t.
This offering will soon be completed by an additional vehicle designed to meet
the needs of customers needing solutions from 3.5 t to 7.5 t.

The new DTI 5 and DTI 8 engines have been based on tried and tested
technologies, adapted to urban applications. They comply with the Euro 6
standard, while improving their levels of performance and reliability. The low
consumption of the previous generation has been passed onto this new range. The
possibility of reaching maximum torque from 900 rpm means drivers do not have to
push the engine to its limits and therefore consume less fuel. Similarly, the
generous power rating of the new four cylinder engine, equivalent to that of a
six cylinder engine, will make it possible to further extend the vehicles' load
capacity

Renault Trucks fits, on all the range, automatic transmissions which reduce fuel
consumption, preserve the vehicle's mechanical parts, limit maintenance costs
and enable drivers to fully focus on their driving. Furthermore, a number of
elements on the Renault Trucks D have been improved so as to limit costs and
make maintenance easier, such as the bumper which, instead of being a single
unit, is now made up of three parts.

For customers wishing to further reduce their operating costs, this range can be
associated with Optifuel Programme. By associating the consumption monitoring
and analysis software Optifuel Infomax and the training in fuell-efficient
driving developed by Renault Trucks, savings in fuel consumption can be as much
as 15% across an entire fleet.

In the distribution sector, where fields of activity are widely diversified, a
truck must be able to exactly satisfy customers' needs. This is why Renault
Trucks offers more than 100 different models and makes provisions on them making
it easier for bodybuilders to do their work. As soon as the order has been
placed, bodybuilders can access all the vehicle's plans via a dedicated web
portal. This enables them to plan the work more easily and reduce body mounting
time by 20%.

Renault Trucks has designed its new D range with the aim of optimizing global
vehicle usage value. This involves the manufacturer making its expertise
available to its customers to offer them a comprehensive transport solution. It
undertakes to be at their side throughout the vehicle's entire operating life
and provide them with efficient solutions in terms of financing, insurance, fuel
consumption analysis and instruction in fuel-efficient driving, as well as
locally-based services to provide efficient maintenance and reduce the cost of
downtime.

The new Renault Trucks Euro 6 vehicles have been developed with the goal of
delivering cost-efficiency, reliability and pride. The Volvo Group, to which
Renault Trucks belongs, has made a major investment in the new range, as well as
in the plants and equipment needed for its production. The new sales
organization will enable Renault Trucks to expand its geographical coverage, by
increasing its numbers of sales and service outlets by 30 to 40% on certain
markets. With this new range of vehicles, backed by a global Group, Renault
Trucks has everything it needs to win new customers and increase its market
share.
