With the new T Range of trucks, Renault no longer requires the services of its famous Magnum and the factory in Lyon has rolled out the last two examples on June 26th.
The keys to the ast Magnum were presented to hauliers Robert Chabbert, at the Bourg-en-Bresse site, with a brand-new Renault Trucks T range also present on sight.
It's already been 23 years since the first Magnum truck rolled off he line and in these years it's become one of the best known vehicles on Europe's roads.
Here's a short history of the Renault Magnum released by the company:
• In 1990, a revolutionary concept was born: the Renault AE with a flat floor and a cab 1.87 metres high. The innovative design, with unprecedented space, total freedom of movement and comfortable on-board living offered by the unique Renault Magnum cab made it the most comfortable truck on the market.
• In 1991 the Renault Magnum was voted "Truck of the year".
• In 1997, a new interior gave the driver even greater comfort.
• In 2005 and 2006, the Renault Magnum was offered with a new chassis and new units to meet the demands of the Euro 5 standard.
• In 2008, the Renault Magnum cab was given greater height and additional storage capacity.
• In 2011, Renault Trucks launched the Magnum Legend, a limited edition of 99 numbered vehicles which adopted the black and white colours of its ancestor, the AE.
