It is equipped with a new gearbox, new driveshaft and new engine. Two engine alternatives are also available, the 130 hp or 150 hp which meet the European Euro 4 emission standard. In addition, the Renault Mascott features a new, effective brake system that provides the shortest braking distance in the lightweight truck segment.
