In Spain, however, where Renault already was recognized as a local automobile producer, the Dodge trucks, which originally had been developed by the manufacturer Barreiros Diesel, were rebadged as Renaults and soon after replaced by French-designed models. Until 1992 the UK division was known as Renault Truck Industries, after which it then took the international Renault V.I. In 1988 the company was subject to a Fire Brigades Union inquiry due to 8 Dodge fire engines involved in crashes. Some of the models built there were continued in production for several years by RVI in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, who also kept the Dodge brand name for these models, albeit in combination with the Renault badge. The newly acquired operations in the UK had their origins in the commercial vehicle branch of the Rootes Group which originally carried the brand names Karrier and Commer. PSA however sold them on to RVI in 1983, having itself little interest in the commercial vehicle market. Included in the deal were commercial vehicle operations in the UK and Spain, which at that time used the brand name Dodge. In 1978, PSA Group had bought Chrysler's European operations. They were also sold on the North American market as the Mack Mid-Liner or Manager.
Since 1975 the truck models resulting from this cooperation were built by Saviem and later Renault, even until 2001. In 1971, Saviem became a member of the Euro Truck Development Group or Club of Four, a cooperation between four European truck producers (Saviem, Volvo, DAF and Magirus-Deutz, which soon after became a part of Iveco) for the production of medium-sized trucks. Again, the old brand names were retained for two more years while the model lineups were gradually incorporated, until in 1980 they were replaced by the name Renault. In 1978, Berliet and Saviem were merged to form Renault Véhicules Industriels. From 1957 on, Saviem was also used as the brand name for the trucks and buses produced by the company.Īs a result of French industrial policy, in 1975 state-owned Renault also acquired the truck and bus manufacturer Berliet from Citroën (at that time a part of the Michelin corporation). Lighter commercials kept on using the Renault name, however. Instead, the company Saviem was formed as a subsidiary of their own commercial products with the manufacturers Somua and Latil. In 1956, however Renault stopped producing trucks and buses under their own name. Its design is reused from DSS 2 version of Bulk Carrier.Renault first began building dedicated commercial trucks in 1906.This is first bulk carrier to appear in the game, the second being the Heavy Bulk Carrier and third being the Panamax Bulk Carrier.This is 2nd cheapest cargo ship in the game, costing 60,000 Credits, beaten only by the Light Freighter(48,000 credits).the Bulk Carrier is the first purchasable cargo ship that is added to the game.It is recommended you buy the Light Container Ship or Oil Tanker as your next ship. If you use this route you will gain about 32,000 credits. The best route to travel to gain Credits is going between Wolin and Santa Cruz. The basic income of the Bulk Carrier is 2250 credits, which is multiplied by the number of miles you travelled while delivering your cargo to equal the amount you get. This ship delivers goods to the Bulk Terminal locations found on the map. The Bulk Carrier is the 2nd cheapest cargo ship in the game, only beaten by the Light Freighter (48,000 credits). However, during the Beta testing period, this ship was free. The Bulk Carrier costs 60,000 Credits to purchase and is good for new players. It can deliver cargo to all islands besides Puerto Williams. In-game, it can be spawned at Nexo C, Wolin B, Haulbowline A and Ronne A, Santa Cruz A, and Puerto Ushuaia A. Cargo is stored in large cargo holds inside the ship, with large hatches that can be opened to load and unload cargo. A Bulk Carrier is a ship designed to transport unpackaged bulk cargo, such as grains, iron ore, and coal.
