During the 65th IAA Commercial Vehicle show in Hannover, Germany the Renault Trucks T was voted International Truck of the Year 2015 by the International Truck of the Year jury.

Having collected a total of 129 points, 48 points ahead of its nearest rival, the Renault Trucks T carried off the prestigious International Truck of the Year 2015 award on 23 September at the IAA Commercial Vehicle show in Hannover. The jury, made up of 25 journalists specialised in commercial vehicles representing 25 international magazines, judged that the Renault Trucks T is the vehicle that has made the largest contribution to road haulage this year.

The International Truck of the Year jury awarded the title to the Renault Trucks T on the basis of several criteria: technological innovations, comfort, safety, on-road performance, fuel savings, the vehicle’s environmental footprint and total cost of ownership (TCO). The jury highlighted the Renault Trucks T’s qualities, making particular mention of its state-of-the-art aerodynamic solutions as well as the comfort provided for drivers both when at the wheel and when resting.

Gianenrico Griffini, the Truck of the Year (ITOY) Jury President said, “The Renault Trucks T combines the qualities of the brand’s previous flagship models with the latest technological innovations in the world of commercial vehicles. This has resulted in one of the most significant launches in the last few years.”

When receiving the award, Bruno Blin, SVP Renault Trucks Commercial commented: “One year ago, Renault Trucks entered a whole new era with the launch of an entirely new range. This award is the best possible way of highlighting the new Renault Trucks identity. I am certain that recognition of the Renault Trucks T’s qualities by specialised, independent journalists from 25 European countries will be a powerful argument for winning over new customers.”
