Transport more

Renault Premium Distribution offers excellent payload capabilities so you can transport more freight, reduce the number of trips you make and increase profitability. The wide range of single and double-reduction drive axles means that you can find the right solution for your needs to boost your productivity gains every day.

A wide choice of cabs to be at ease on the road

Renault Premium Distribution offers three different cab lengths (Day, Global, Sleeper) with the Sleeper cab specially designed to spend several nights on the road in superior comfort. There is also a choice of three roof heights. The cabs are fitted out in new interior trim designs with dirt-resistant fabric and colours.

Exceptional turning radius

With a compact cab, a short forward overhang (1,420 mm) and short wheelbases, Renault Premium Distribution is the perfect choice for negotiating urban traffic conditions. It is highly manoeuvrable as a result of its combined turning radius/short forward overhang.

40 combinations offering true customisation

The range of possibilities offered by Renault Trucks allows you to configure the Renault Premium Distribution that is right for your needs: tractors and rigids from 18 to 26 t GVW (4x2 and 6x2); 14 different wheelbases on the rigids, three on the tractors; a third axle, in steering and non-steering versions; a wide choice of power ratings (270 to 460 hp); a choice of three cabs and three roof heights; single and double-reduction drive axles; different trailer coupling heights; air or mechanical suspension. For very specific needs, other models are available for special customer configurations such as the 6x2/4 rigid with rear-steering tag axle, for haulage, construction or road maintenance.

Drive axles

A broad range of single and double-reduction drive axles designed to best meet the different application needs and load requirements.

Get into high gear

The robust driveline is designed to meet requirements specific to heavy distribution. The ease with which it handles both long trips and urban deliveries will allow you to increase average speeds.

Easier cab access

To reduce the strain caused by repeatedly getting in and out of the vehicle, Renault Trucks devised the 'Access Concept' programme with doors opening 90°, non-slip access steps in line with the door, grab handles on either side of the door, stepwell lighting, adjustable seat and air-release steering wheel.

Great visibility to bring everything in focus

Renault Premium Distribution has a clear panoramic windscreen and wide windows that give an excellent view of the road ahead and its surroundings. The independent rear view mirrors, the main mirror and wide-angle mirror with vibration-free arms, as well as the front view mirror, all help to eliminate blind spots and ensure optimal visibility to both front and rear. These vision enhancement features can be complemented by the 'vision' door, with its glazed lower section designed to make manoeuvring easier, as well as a rear side window on the passenger side and a rear window.

Smooth, easy bodybuilding

With wheelbases in 200 mm increments, pre-drilled and stamped side members and body fixing brackets, the Renault Premium Distribution chassis is optimised to make bodybuilding easier and more efficient. Renault Trucks has developed a special electronic box for bodybuilders that allows easy, safe connection between body and vehicle electronics.
