reducing the impact

Environment

Renault Trucks is committed to reduce the impact that road freight transport has on the environment.

The core business of Renault Trucks, essentially component assembly, scarcely generates pollution, but operating the vehicles it produces is a source of nuisance. Renault Trucks uses considerable human and financial resources to minimise these nuisances throughout the life cycle of its vehicles.

TANGIBLE SOLUTIONS

The truck building industry has achieved some spectacular results in reducing pollutant engine emissions. In 2014, nitrous oxide and particle emissions wil have been reduced by 90% compared with 1990 levels. To bring its vehicles into line with the most recent standards, Renault Trucks has adopted SCR technology (Selective Catalytic Reduction) which maintains engine performance and lowers its fuel consumption.

Now, faced with the global challenge of climate change and the implication of CO2 emissions, Renault Trucks continues to develop ever more fuel efficient solutions as well as offer alternative drivelines ( hybrid, full electric or CNG vehicles, optimized diesel engines, eco-driving training, on-board monitoring software).

A shared commitment

In order to contribute to the introduction of efficient and lasting transport solutions, Renault Trucks implements an environment policy based on clear commitments and a rigorous system of management involving dealers, suppliers and partners as well. Renault Trucks manufacturing plants are designed to limit raw material consumption and waste generation. Every vehicle is manufactured with the aim of reusing a maximum amount of its component materials (90% of the parts used are recyclable). Each plant is ISO 14001 certified.
