Efficiently managing your waste collection

For waste collection, you need a fleet of trucks adapted to the different missions in the city center, on the outskirts or on industrial sites. Discover the Renault Trucks K range, which offers a combination of robustness, maneuverability, easy bodybuilder environment, with associated services that enable you to manage your fleet efficiently.

Waste management in a local authority covers a wide range of situations. Whether it's collection in the city center, in suburban areas or waste management on industrial sites, robustness and maneuverability are the criteria of choice.

The Renault Trucks K Heavy 6x4 is the best answer to the needs of African cities and communities for daily sanitation operations.

Waste collection requires very specific equipment that can be adapted to the different needs of the profession. To meet all these needs, Renault Trucks works closely with bodybuilders. The K range chassis are designed to facilitate bodybuilding with all the equipment dedicated to this profession.

The Renault Trucks K chassis offers a wide range of options and can be adapted to the technical requirements of the equipment.

The choice of routes for waste collection rounds is particularly important in terms of efficiency and can be changed regularly. Optifleet's connected fleet management solution allows you to plan your routes in the most efficient way possible and to know, in real time, the position of each of your trucks. If your activity is outsourced, Optifleet allows your partner to retrieve and integrate the data into its own management system.

In addition, the system provides precise information on consumption and on the use of equipment: use of the tipper when stationary, use of the idle speed, number of times the brake pedal is pressed, etc. You can also set an alert level to warn you if a vehicle is over-consuming and evaluate your drivers based on technical and objective data. You can, for example, set up a rational driving course. Optifuel Training courses are given by Renault Trucks experts in your company and in real operating conditions.

Your employees climb into and out of their trucks very regularly during waste collection. With this in mind, we designed vehicles with smaller step heights and doors opening at 90°, to make movement easier. Our vehicles were designed to ensure excellent visibility and a short turning radius. For instance, the 6x2*4 configuration means an additional rear axle can be installed to make shorter turns easier, which is particularly useful for refuse skips that need to drive through towns.

On board the truck, everything was designed so drivers could have all they need to work in the very best conditions. The spacious cabs are fitted with comfortable seats, and can accommodate up to 7 places with the crew cab version. There is also lots of storage space for employees to keep their belongings in. On the outside, they can store their work tools in the specially-designed chests installed on the chassis.

To make driving more pleasant, Renault Trucks offers automatic gearboxes on all its models, and a dashboard with easily-accessible commands. In aiming to ensure optimal safety, the Renault Trucks D line also has:

• A vision door
• An automatic emergency braking aid
• Hill-start assist.

Vehicles dedicated to waste collection demand substantial investments. It is therefore important to ensure high performance in the long run. Renault Trucks offers personalized maintenance plans, that take the vehicle’s specific use into account. In the case of refuse skips for instance, the frequency at which oil changes are recommended will be based more on a time frame than on mileage.

To prevent breakdowns and intervene before they even happen, Renault Trucks has developed a predictive maintenance service: Predict. A digital platform registers your vehicles’ behavior and actual use. When an intervention is deemed necessary, the platform warns your advisor. They then contact you to schedule the work to be done before a breakdown occurs. As such, you have better control over vehicle availability, and can prevent any unforeseen repairs.

If a part needs changing, Renault Trucks also has an eXchange programme. This service allows users to purchase renovated parts at a cheaper price, once they have been reconditioned in our specialized factory. Following that, the parts are all tested and approved to make sure they meet the same requirements as new products, and benefit from a two-year fitted parts warranty.

We know your activity and all the constraints linked to waste management. Therefore Renault Trucks can provide efficient financing support. Your advisor will determine the best solution to finance and insure your fleet.
