In 2021, demand for used trucks remained very high in a market boosted by the upturn in activity and a shortage of new vehicles due to disruptions to production. Renault Trucks invoiced 13 per cent fewer vehicles than in 2020, due to a historically low stock level of under 1,000 vehicles. In 2021, Renault Trucks continued its investment in the circular economy, converting 300 vehicles at its Used Trucks Factory in Bourg-en-Bresse and launching a limited series of used T Robust 13 L tractors designed to last at least 1 million km.
For several years now, Renault Trucks range of electric trucks has been constantly expanding and its sales volumes reflect this rapid progress. In 2021, 249 electric trucks were delivered and 613 were ordered. In an European market where volumes remain modest, the manufacturer’s share stands at 17 per cent. Renault Trucks is stepping up its strategy with increased ambitions.
