The Nerja municipal government hopes to improve solid waste collection and transportation services in the city by introducing new and effective equipment. In September last year, Nerja City Hall purchased the Renault heavy-duty truck with Allison's fully automatic transmission as part of the garbage truck renewal plan.
The body of this rear compression garbage truck is manufactured by RosRoca from the Lleida region of Spain. The vehicle itself is purchased through tender. In order to meet the specific requirements of the Nerja City Hall, Renault Trucks submitted a tender with a Renault Premium 380 truck equipped with a high-torque 380 hp engine, an Allison Series 4000 fully automatic transmission and a rear driveshaft. This combination of Renault trucks has excellent vehicle performance and is particularly suitable for collecting large amounts of rubbish or running on slopes in the city of Nerja.

Renault Premium 380 trucks have a volume of 23 cubic meters, and more importantly, they are equipped with modern safety devices. The car is equipped with a rear camera lens and an optoelectronic device that can automatically monitor whether the garbage loader accidentally enters the compression area of ​​the compressor. If misconduct is detected, the advanced security system will control the compression equipment to prevent the compression action from continuing to avoid causing damage and injury to the garbage loader.
The Allison Transmission brings the perfect experience
Six months after the Renault Premium 380 truck was put into operation, the directors of the city's garbage removal service department praised the overall performance of the Allison transmission and the benefits it brings. On the occasion of the height of summer, local tourists are coming and the population is skyrocketing. At this time, garbage trucks need to work seven days a week, run for seven hours a day, and have a heavy workload. At present, the total service time of the new car has exceeded 875 hours, and the operating mileage is as high as 11,000 kilometers, showing good efficiency and productivity.

Blas Sánchez Castillo, a municipal public works manager, said: “A few years ago, we had already tested the first Allison fully automatic transmission that we came in contact with. We liked the handling characteristics and the smooth and simple driving experience. But we chose The main reason for purchasing Allison fully automatic gearboxes with torque converters is that it saves costs and reduces the operational downtime of manual transmissions due to clutch wear."
Prior to the purchase of Renault Premium 380 trucks, there were a total of six manual vehicles in the clearing service fleet, including four garbage trucks and two street sweepers. In addition, there were some auxiliary building and road maintenance vehicles. Service managers and drivers are very happy now, because Allison fully automatic transmission has brought them tremendous changes.

The vehicles are very good at starting. Everyone likes to drive this automatic car."
Manager Castillo is naturally very clear about all the advantages mentioned above. He emphasized: "From now on, we will no longer use manual vehicles for cleaning and transportation services."
