New Logan Pick-up and Van Models to be Launched at Commercial Vehicles Middle East Exhibition
Dubai, UAE, March 4, 2010: Renault will extend its fleet of light commercial vehicles in the GCC with the introduction of two new practical and extremely affordable Logan Van and Pick-up models
The two new vehicles will be officially launched at Commercial Vehicles Middle East (CVME) exhibition which takes place from March 9 to 11, 2010 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre (DIEC).
"The fleet business across the region has been thriving and the demand for practical multi utility vehicles is always high. The Logan Van and Pick up models are robust models offering high levels of safety, passenger comfort and economy not just in fuel consumption but where maintenance and service costs are involved as well," said Mustansir Lakdawala, Renault GCC's Managing Director.
"We felt it was only fitting to launch these two new models at CVME as it is the regions only specialised event that attracts the right target audience under one roof," he added.
The Logan Van is a sturdy entry level commercial vehicle that is aimed at small business owners, tradesmen, as well as small fleet customers. Meanwhile, the new Renault Logan Pick-up is perfect for those looking for a balance between work and leisure, meeting the needs of both business users and private motorists alike.
Designed from the outset with both the passenger car and commercial vehicle variants in mind, the Logan Van has been engineered to stand up to the wear and tear associated with commercial vehicle use, without neglecting either comfort or handling performance. Available in a 1.6 litre eight-valve petrol engine, the vehicle offers thrifty fuel consumption at only 7.5litres/100km.
The Logan Pick-up also features a 1.6 litre petrol engine. It is rugged and can be easily serviced, an important criteria for a utility vehicle.
Both models offer optimum efficiency, are sturdy and practical. The vehicles securely transport bulky loads (800 kg payload) owing to six anchoring points in the Logan Van and 16 lashing points in the bucket of Logan Pick-Up. They feature a carefully designed area for transporting long objects ranging from 180 cm (Logan Pick-Up) to 194 cm (Logan Van).
Occupants also benefit from a comfortable and functional passenger cabin with numerous storage areas - especially in the Logan Pick-Up which boasts of 300 litres of storage space behind the seats.
Lastly, as seen in all Renault vehicles, the two new Logan models have all the necessary active and passive safety features. On passive safety side, they include three-point seatbelts, driver airbag and an optional front passenger airbag. Both Renault models will be sold with a 3 year or 100,000km warranty.
