Renault Trucks T 01 Racing: Used Vehicle Enters the Race

Renault Trucks pushes the boundaries of used trucks with a clear ambition: to make second life synonymous with high performance.

The Lyon-based manufacturer unveils the new generation of its iconic special edition, the Renault Trucks T 01 Racing, now based on the T Evolution platform. This reimagined model, straddling sporty spirit and sophistication, illustrates the brand’s desire to elevate the status of used trucks to that of desirable objects.

Inspired by motorsport, the new T 01 Racing retains the dynamic signature of its predecessor while adopting a cleaner, more modern style. Designers played with contrasts between matte and glossy finishes, highlighting the new LED lighting signature. “The design of the first generation immediately appealed,” recalls Vincent Froidevaux, designer at Renault Trucks. “We wanted to keep its sporty identity while adding a touch of sophistication.”

Available in nine colors, the model allows for extensive customization, a strong sign directed at carriers eager to combine performance with image.

A Concentration of Technologies and Comfort

Behind its sleek appearance, the T 01 Racing benefits from the latest innovations derived from the Renault Trucks T Evolution. The cab has been redesigned to offer increased comfort: adjustable steering column on three axes, optimized storage, improved sleeping area. All elements that enhance ergonomics and onboard well-being, two criteria now essential in long-distance transport.

Safety is also a priority, with standard 100% LED lighting, ensuring better night visibility and greater durability. The optimized aerodynamics, combined with precise control of cruise regulators and A-class tires, help reduce fuel consumption by about 3% compared to the previous generation.

The Reinvented Used Market

Beyond its striking style and performance, the T 01 Racing embodies a more virtuous approach to road transport. By focusing on revalorizing used vehicles, Renault Trucks promotes a circular logic: extending truck lifespans, reducing raw material needs, and limiting CO₂ emissions.

Ultimately, this next-generation T 01 Racing perfectly illustrates Renault Trucks‘s vision: combining passion, sustainability, and industrial excellence. For carriers, it promises a high-performance, distinctive work tool. For drivers, it offers the pleasure of driving a truck that, even as used, breathes performance.
