Essentially a Premium chassis with a rear double bogie, the Highway introduction to the multi-axle market has opened some doors. Renault has worked hard at producing a 'light' sixer and says a 17 tonnes payload is a distinct possibility with alloy wheels. Using rubber suspension and single reduction rear axles also helps.
The drawback to using a distribution spec for the front end is its low ground clearance— take it across open ground and you might pay the price, This is a road vehicle and the options for drivelines reflect this —they vary from 270 to 420hp if you use it as a drawbar. Lower rear-axle ratios help the gearing and revs improve fuel consumption.
