Optidriver gearbox

The Renault Trucks Reman offer is systematically available in three versions: full, basic (delivered without ECU, receiver, and clutch solenoid valve) or short (delivered without the rear relay), for optimal repair quality, at the fairest price. Our competitors often limit themselves to offering a basic version of their refurbished gearbox without this being clearly specified in their commercial offer. However, a less equipped gearbox potentially means additional parts to replace and a longer reassembly time.

Renault Trucks Reman parts benefit from the same technical developments as those made to the new original part.

For example, if a weakness has been detected in the clutch forks over a certain period of production, and a workaround has been put in place to remedy it, this same solution will be applied to produce gearboxes.

Thus, all clutch forks deemed weak will be systematically scrapped to be replaced with new, more robust forks.

Several analyzes have clearly shown that our competitors do not apply these technical developments, for the sake of profit or because they are not aware of them. Consequently, their products retain the same weaknesses as the standard fitted gearbox.

Reusing as many components as possible from the used box is the raison d'être of the standard exchange, but it is also an economic issue.

Indeed, this makes it possible to reduce the costs of renovating the gearbox by limiting the addition of new, often expensive, components.

However, this imperative should not come at the expense of product quality.

However, our competitors do not hesitate to reuse certain components when they would have been systematically scrapped in the Renault Trucks standard exchange process, our engineers having considered that their reuse presented an excessive quality risk.

When a component cannot be reused, the renovator has two choices: using new original components, those with which the gearbox has been developed, tested, and approved, or using adaptable components, copying the components. original.

Where our competitors systematically use adaptable, more economical components, Renault Trucks has chosen to fit only new original components on its Reman boxes.

This is the best way to allow our boxes to regain their original performance level.

Designing packaging that allows the part to be properly protected during storage and transport is essential.

It is also an expense item on which some renovators do not hesitate to save money, by replacing the stainless-steel plate protecting the base of the Renault Trucks box computer with rudimentary cardboard protection; or by removing the protective plastic cover on the product.
