Press Release / January 9, 2015

Renault Trucks recently presented the keys to the first 100 vehicles out of a total order for 530 trucks to Norbert Dentressangle. After tests carried out under actual operating conditions, the European haulage and logistics leader was impressed by the vehicles’ technical qualities, their French origin and the environmental credentials of the DTI Euro 6 engines.

This acquisition concerns the Renault Trucks D and Renault Trucks T, the vehicle elected International Truck of the Year for 2015.

Norbert Dentressangle, the European leader for haulage and logistics with the largest private fleet in Europe has restated its confidence in Renault Trucks and acquired 530 vehicles from the new range for several of its European subsidiaries. This mainly concerns vehicles from the T range to be used for regional, national and international haulage assignments. Some 100 vehicles from the D range for distribution activities are also included in this order.

After having tested the Renault Trucks T, under actual operating conditions for several months, Norbert Dentressangle was very impressed by the vehicle. Furthermore, supporting French manufacturing by choosing vehicles with “Guaranteed Made in France” certification (the only French origin certification label in existence), is one of the haulier’s priorities.

During the key presentation ceremony which took place in Saint-Priest (69), Hervé Montjotin, Chairman of the Norbert Dentressangle Board, explained why he had made this choice:

“The reception of the new Renault Trucks Euro 6 range is for me an opportunity to remind everyone that Norbert Dentressangle remains an investor in its long-standing activity of transport. The choice of truck we use is crucial since it is the focus of our commitments of quality to our clients, of comfort and safety to our drivers and finally of respect for the environment with fuel efficient and clean engines. In addition to that, we are proud of contributing to the promotion of a “Guaranteed Made in France” manufactured product made in our own region.”

In reply, Bruno Blin, President of Renault Trucks stressed:

“I am pleased that Norbert Dentressangle, a French company with an international dimension, recognises the quality of the Renault Trucks T, voted International Truck of the Year 2015 and supports French manufacturing. For our trucks are indeed entirely made in France, at the Blainville-sur-Orne, Bourg-en-Bresse and Lyon production plants.”
