Renault D240 Used Trucks - Current Offers for Sale

Powertrain and Transmission

Renault D240 is powered by the DTI 5 engine, a 5.1L four-cylinder diesel unit delivering 240 HP (176 kW) and 900 Nm of torque. This downsized block is the most potent four-cylinder option in the D series, enabling significant chassis weight savings versus six-cylinder alternatives to maximize payload—critical for 12–16 t GVW configurations. High-pressure Common Rail injection (up to 2000 bar) and a variable geometry turbocharger ensure responsive torque delivery and efficient combustion for urban and regional duties. The engine features oil change intervals up to 45,000 km (or 24 months), provided Low-SAPS lubricants are used. Transmission configurations prioritize automation with standard 12-speed Optidriver (AT2412 series) or 8-speed Optishift gearboxes. Rugged design allows the Optidriver to handle far greater torque than required, supporting longevity even under intensive stop-start conditions. Maintenance routines require precise calibration post service using dedicated diagnostic interfaces.

Chassis, Suspension, and Adaptation

The D240 is available in standard (2.1 m) or D Wide (2.3 m) cab widths, supporting applications from city refuse trucks to regional refrigerated box bodies. Wheelbase options span 3250–6800 mm in over a dozen configurations, enabling tailored body adaptation. GVW ranges from 11.99 t for ultra-light urban variants to 18 t (and up to 26 t in D Wide three-axle chassis). Tare weight starts at approx. 6.3 t, supporting payloads up to 9,000 kg for 16 t rigs. Suspension setups commonly mix parabolic leaf springs at the front with ECAS-controlled air bellows at the rear, balancing reliability and loading dock height adjustability. Full-air or full-leaf options are available for specialized use.

Cabin Ergonomics and Safety Systems

Cab features include wide-opening 90° doors, anti-slip steps, optimized storage (including cooled compartments and modular work tables), and pneumatic seats. Advanced ADAS includes AEBS, ACC, 360° BirdView vision, and optional Vision Door for direct VRU detection. In 2024 NCAP testing, D series achieved 4 stars and “CitySafe” certification, with 59% crash avoidance, 75% safe driving, and 80% post-crash safety effectiveness.

Fleet Telematics and Refrigerated Applications

All D240 trucks are equipped with Renault Optifleet, enabling multi-module telematics—driver performance/EcoScore, geofence MAP, remote tacho file transfer, real-time diagnostics, and safety intervention reporting. For cold chain logistics, FNA and FRC ATP bodies support up to 18 europallets, paired with Thermo King or Carrier units (1.8–2.5 l/h diesel consumption), with body wall thickness up to 100 mm and fully integrated temperature algorithms. Factory frames feature pre-configured mounting points for rapid upfitting.
