Renault
Alaskan Concept
The
Renault Alaskan Concept's status-enhancing design fits perfectly with the
aesthetic expectations of the pick-up segment, whilst remaining true to the
Renault brand's own styling cues.
Laurens
van den Acker, Senior Vice-President, Corporate Design, commented: "The
styling of the Alaskan Concept sticks to the rules of the pick-up segment,
including impressive dimensions and a visual sense of power and robustness. At
the same time, we have dialed in specific Renault cues in the form of an
attractive, status-enhancing front-end design."
The
Alaskan Concept is powered by Renault's proven four-cylinder, twin turbo diesel
engine : a small turbo for smooth
acceleration at low engine speeds, plus a bigger turbo for higher revs.
The
Alaskan Concept is a 'work hard, play hard' all-road vehicle designed to meet
the requirements of three different worlds: business and leisure use, plus everyday
motoring.
Renault
and Hasselblad worked jointly to underline the Alaskan Concept's ability to
adapt to three different types of use: business and leisure use, and everyday
motoring. Hasselblad is a Swedish manufacturer of cameras and photographic equipment.
It is famous for having provided photographic equipment for the Apollo
programme which took men to the moon for the first time.
This
new one-tonne pick-up will be unveiled in the first half of 2016.
