Renault Trucks AdventurE

Renault Trucks Adventure reflects the Renault Trucks brand’s enterprising and groundbreaking spirit throughout the world. For these two editions, Renault Trucks has combined its teams’ expertise and its products’ competitivity on a mission to make contact with other cultures and demonstrate their technical prowess.

Renault Trucks Adventure is a project involving the entire company, towards which all Renault Trucks divisions have contributed.

Cape to Cape 2009

The Renault Trucks adventure took place from the 1st of March to the beginning of July, a 30,000 km journey covering 21 countries between the Northern Cape and Cape Town in South Africa. The route will cover all types of roads over all types of terrain and in all sorts of climates.

Six Kerax and six Sherpa vehicles had demonstrate their robustness and reliability under the most extreme conditions.

But this challenge was a human adventure, in which 32 Renault Trucks drivers, journalists, customers and members of the network took part.

Silk road 2005

Having been involved in major African expeditions since the beginning of the last century (Six-Wheeler Raid in 1926; Ténéré Mission in 1959; Croisière des Sables in 1977), Renault Trucks decided to let history repeat itself by organising the Silk Road expedition in 2005. Eight Renault Trucks vehicles followed the tracks of Marco Polo: five Renault Kerax 6x6s; a Renault Kerax 4x4; and 2 Renault Sherpas.

The Silk Road was a singular adventure combining remarkable performance and exceptional routes under the “Renault Trucks Adventure” banner. The 8 teams travelled 20,000kms through Europe, Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan and China via Inner Mongolia, in pursuit of an extraordinary adventure through some fascinating countries and remarkable personal encounters.
