The Renault Maxity is a light commercial vehicle with a cab-over-engine style truck launched by the French manufacturer Renault Trucks in 2007.[1] The Maxity is nearly identical to the Nissan Cabstar, sharing the same drive-train and engine options and manufactured on the same Nissan owned production line in Avila, Spain.[2] While the sharing of engines and production facilities is part of the Renault-Nissan Alliance, the vehicle is sold by Renault Trucks which is owned by Volvo.[3]
In Europe the Maxity is available from 2.8 to 4.5-tonne versions, but only as a 3.4 or 3.5-tonner in Britain.[4] The Maxity is rear-wheel drive and powered with a choice of two diesel engines; a 2.5 L DXi2.5 in 1100NaN0 and 1300NaN0 states of tune, and a 3.0 L DXi3 turbo producing 1500NaN0. All are mated to a five-speed or six-speed manual transmission depending on specification.
In 2010, Renault Trucks trialled an electric version with a 2-tonne payload in Paris with drinks distributor Tafanel.[5] The prototype truck was developed in collaboration with electric commercial vehicle manufacturer PVI.[6]
The compact dimensions of the Maxity are promoted by Renault Trucks to emphasise the use in towns and cities, with a cab width of 18701NaN1, wheelbases ranging from depending on configuration, and a compact turning radius of 4.81NaN1.
