• With the Euro-3 deadline nearly upon us, Renault VI has revealed its Euro-3 dCi common-rail engines with E-Tech continuing in a revamped Magnum, and a new range.
UK operators have already seen the dCi in the Premium 420 at Euro-2 but the high-flow pump (running at 1,500 bar) now features across the entire range from Master to Kerax.
The 12-litre Magnum E-Tech is equipped with an electronic high-pressure (1,800 bar) unit pump.
During the Magnum's 11 years it has
maintained its shape and internal space, but the new look and internal makeover represents its biggest cosmetic revision to date: the Magnum grille now has the same "smile" as the Premium.
The Midlum range has been expanded with a crop of 18-tonne chassis which overlap the 18-tonne Premium models. Renault believes that operators will choose the new 18-tonne/220hp Midlum for localised work, with the 270hp Premium as first choice for long-distance and drawbar operations.
