Renault introduces its first global one-tonne
pick-up: Alaskan
Renault takes the wraps off Alaskan, a
one-tonne pick-up that takes a
completely fresh approach to the
pick-up segment, including a
stunning look that incorporates an
imposing front-end.
oth robust and comfortable,
Alaskan delivers exceptional
driving comfort enhanced with
a cutting edge five-link rear
suspension and a tough, fully
boxed frame.
Alaskan is a powerful, ingeniously designed
vehicle that combines outstanding off-road
ability and best-in-class fuel economy with the
Renault 2.3-litre dCi engine under the bonnet.
In addition to meeting the needs of professional
customers, it is the perfect companion for
leisure use and everyday motoring.
Moreover, thanks to its Light Commercial
Vehicle (LCV) expertise, Renault provides a
wide range of services, conversions and
accessories to fulfil the broad diversity of
customers’ needs.
Following the launch in Latin America last
year of the Duster Oroch, a segment-breaking
half-tonne pick-up, Renault has global
ambitions for Alaskan in the pick-up market.
This market accounts for five million units
worldwide annually: more than one-third of the
world’s LCV sales.
B
Building on its position as Europe’s number
one LCV brand for 18 years, as well as on its
strong footings in South-America and Africa,
Groupe Renault is shifting up a gear with
Alaskan which will be manufactured in three
industrial sites.
Alaskan launches in the strong pick-up
markets of Latin America where Renault is a
long-time player. It will initially go on sale in
Colombia.
More news about a possible UK launch
soon.
