RENAULT TRUCKS' heaviest Mascott chassis-cab models, running at 5.5 and 6.5 tonnes GVW, are to get new engines.
They will be fitted with the smallest of the Deutz family of diesels, which will be in all Volvo Group light-middleweights ahead of the Euro-4 emission limits coming into force in 2005.
With a swept volume of 3.8 litres, the four-cylinder engine. built in Cologne, will be 35% bigger than the 2.8-litre engine currently sourced from Iveco for the heavier Mascous.
In the group's heavier FL and Midlum chassis, grossing 7.5 to 26 tonnes, the ageing Volvo 5.5 and 7.3-litre and Renault 4.1 and 6.2litre designs will be replaced by three other Deutz-made engines.
These will be the D6, a sixcylinder stablemate of the Mascott engine displacing 5.7 litres: and a four and a six, the D5 and D7, with a larger bore and stroke giving capacities of 4.8 and 7.2 litres.
