Renault Trucks is expanding the Renault Midlum with a whole new range of automated gearboxes, configured to respond to the specific needs of the delivery business. User comfort and reduced operating costs are the key features of the Optitronic on the Midlum. To allow the driver to remain focused on his driving, the Optitronic gearbox controls are attached to the steering wheel and all relevant data is posted on the digital control panel.
Optitronic features several driving modes. An “economy” mode which calculates the best compromise between consumption and vehicle performance and adapts automatically to the conditions of use according to load and road conditions. A “manoeuvre” mode that increases the precision of the vehicle at a very low speed by linking the position of the clutch to the position of the accelerator. A “kick-down” mode that allows you to build up the vehicle’s acceleration capacity. A “temporary manual” mode, for situations where the driver needs to keep control of the gearbox, which shuts off when the cruise control is put on or a pedal depressed.
