iE UK offshoot of Renault ahicules Industriels, Renault .ucks and Buses UK Ltd, is to :pand its range of vehicles r the UK market. The turbolarged and charge-cooled erliet TR305 which was unched at the NEC will be railable to operators early in re new year.
This will be followed in late ebruary by the launch of a ew contender in the non-hgv .5-tonne market, the Savienh K75. Part of the J-Series aviem Club of Four range, lie JK is a "genuine" 7.53nner when compared with he existing J1\175 which is a own-rated .J1\190.
The JN75 will still be availble for operators who require higher output for inter-city elivery as its six-cylinder enMe develops 97kW (130bhp) ompared with the probable 75kW (100bhp SAE) of the four-cylinder engine in the JK75.
Later in the year (September is a likely date) two more chassis will be launched. The HR16 is a 16-ton rigid and the HF32T a 32-ton tractive unit. Unlike the Berliet TR305, which has a design gross weight of 40 tonnes, the new model is a 32-tonner pure and simple.
Both vehicles will be fitted with the RV1 H-cab which is in effect a wide version of the J-Series Club cab. No technical details are available as yet for the H-models nor is it certain under which marque name they will be sold.
There is a definite possibility that they will be marketed under the name Renault and not Berliet or Saviem.
