The Renault T480 Turbo Compound is equipped with advanced engine technology to optimise fuel consumption and improve performance. 

It is a high-performance, economical truck, designed for long distances and heavy haulage, with a focus on reducing fuel consumption and complying with environmental standards.

Here are its main technical specifications:

𝟭. 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗯𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲
 

  • The T480 features a 13-litre DTI engine, combined with Turbo Compound technology.
  • This technology recovers some of the energy from exhaust gases, which is normally lost, to return torque to the valvetrain and increase engine torque without consuming more fuel, thereby reducing fuel consumption.

𝟮. 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗾𝘂𝗲
 
  • The T480 Turbo Compound produces 480 bhp, hence the name, with maximum torque of 2,550 Nm.
  • This high torque is particularly useful for heavy haulage, enabling better acceleration and hillholding.

𝟯. 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝘅
 
  • It is equipped with the Optidriver robotised gearbox, which optimises gear changes according to driving conditions.
  • This gearbox is designed to work in synergy with the Turbo Compound engine, providing smoother, more economical driving.

𝟰. 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀
 
  • The model includes driving assistance systems such as Optivision (anticipatory cruise control based on the road profile), to optimise the use of engine power and reduce fuel consumption.
  • Features such as adaptive cruise control and emergency braking also contribute to greater safety and a more comfortable driving experience.

𝟱. 𝗔𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁
 
  • The cab is designed to improve aerodynamics and reduce wind resistance, contributing to better fuel economy.
  • Inside, the cab is ergonomically designed and equipped for driver comfort, with adjustable seats, a comfortable bed for long distances, and practical storage.

𝟲. 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
 
  • The engine complies with Euro 6 Step D emission standards, limiting emissions of CO₂ and other polluting particles.
  • Thanks to Turbo Compound technology, lower fuel consumption also contributes to a smaller ecological footprint.
