Renault Class C's in Australia

Is the Renault gas or diesel?
I often wondered if that size would be popular in the states..

Thanks. :)

They're not legal in the US, as they don't meet the US emission or safety regulations. I don't think that they make a US export version because of the cost. It's possible that it could be converted here though.

Diesel, no Gas engines with European Vans. It is 23ft in length

The Ford Transit, is the same as what they use in England. Ford's 3.2 Diesel was available for the Transit in England, but could be not upgraded to Euro 6 , so had to be dropped. They now use a 2.2.Euro 6 engine, will be a smaller 2litre with a more advanced engine. Payloads strangely are roughly the same for the 2.2 and the older 3.2 engine

Another shot I took with my old phone. Strong sunlight gave bluish hinge

Here is a similarly sized small 2 Litre Diesel with a VW Crafter, Cab Chassis variant of the Van

I always enjoy the photos you post of rigs over there, thanks a lot.

I know they are not legal here, unfortunately.
I was referring to the size when I asked if they would be popular in the USA.
They are neat little rigs.

Little in about 23ft, on the IVECO they are are 27ft, for that SWITCH

Renault once dominated the market in Europe for C platforms, until Fiat upgraded the Ducato in 2007 to 3rd generation that they are currently selling. 2004-2008 there were a lot of old type C's running around in France and Spain on 2nd generation Master chassis, but after 2008 all the new ones were on Transit or Ducato. It took Renault until 2010 to come back with a 3rd generation of the Master van.

French RV magazines in early 2010 were predicting a recovery of market share for Renault, at least for French manufacturers who had been using the PSA clone of the Ducato. I haven't seen any sales figures, however, and my 2013 and 2014 trips, which were in Eastern Europe, I was still seeing all Ducato, mostly Italian and German RV brands.
