The Renault Trucks D is a range of medium duty trucks for distribution manufactured by the French truckmaker Renault Trucks.[2] It was launched in 2013 to replace the Midlum, the Premium Distribution[3] and the Access.
Overview
The Renault Trucks D Wide (left) and D (right)
The D incorporates automatic transmission as standard in all its versions (except the D Cab 2 m) and new comfort and security features.[2]
The D range is made up of four models: D, D Wide, D Access and D Cab 2 m. The D and the D Wide are derived from the Midlum and the Premium Distribution respectively. The D Access is supplied by Dennis Eagle.[4] The D Cab 2 m is a badge-engineered version of the Nissan NT500, assembled in Spain by Nissan.[5]
Engines
The D offers two Euro 6 engines, the DTI 5 and the DTI 8.[2] The DTI 5 is a 5.1 L inline-four engine with a power output of 157 kW (210 hp) and a torque of 800 N⋅m (590 lb⋅ft) or 179 kW (240 hp) and 900 N⋅m (660 lb⋅ft). The DTI 8 is a 7.7 L straight-six engine with a power output of 186 kW (250 hp) and a torque of 950 N⋅m (700 lb⋅ft); 209 kW (280 hp) and 1,050 N⋅m (770 lb⋅ft) or 239 kW (320 hp) and 1,200 N⋅m (890 lb⋅ft).[6] Both engines includes an EGR system to reduce NOx emissions.
The Renault Trucks D Wide is also available as an all-electric variant, offering 260 kW (349 hp) of continuous power and 370 kW (496 hp) of peak power, and 850 N⋅m (630 lb⋅ft) of torque. Equipped with a 200-kWh battery, it has a range of "up to 200 km",[7][8][9] though the vehicle could be presumably equipped with an even larger battery in the future.
The lighter truck of the range, the D Cab 2 m, has an engine different than the rest: a 3L engine with a power output between
112 kW (150 hp) and 134 kW (180 hp).[4]
