Renault unveils Alaskan pick-up concept
The Alaskan Concept's bonnet is highlighted by four sculptured ribs to heighten the impression of strength; features a combination of satin-effect, brushed and polished metal finishes; blue and yellow detailing on the door mirrors, brake calipers, wheel rim centres and front tow hook; and full-LED lighting signature.
The Concept boasts a payload of more than one tonne with five passengers onboard and a long, wide load bed incorporating reccesses suitable for fixing equipment. Additional storage bins either side of the load bed can also be used to secure cargo.
The model is powered by Renault’s four-cylinder, twin turbo diesel engine which features in the existing Master range. This includes a small turbo for smooth acceleration at low engine speeds, plus a bigger turbo for higher revs. This longitudinally-mounted twin turbo powertrain is lighter than average equivalent engines, and offers improved fuel efficiency and lower CO2.
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.
