On 23 September 2014, the Renault Trucks T was voted International Truck of the Year 2015 by the International Truck of the Year jury made up of 25 journalists from the international trade press.

Gianenrico Griffini, the jury’s president, presented the prestigious trophy to Bruno Blin, the President of Renault Trucks, during the 65th edition of the IAA Commercial Vehicle show in Hanover.

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, driveability, fuel economy, environmental footprint and total cost of ownership (TCO).

“The new Range T combines the best features found in Renault Trucks’ previously-successful models together with the advanced functions built-into its latest generation of heavy-duty products,” summed up Gianenrico Griffini, the International Truck of the Year (ITOY) Jury President.

He then added: “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.”

The Renault Trucks T was presented on 11 June 2013 with a show called R/Evolution and was introduced in the end of 2013, being the first from a new line of vehicles for the company.
