The Renault Trucks C P8X4 13-litre Euro 6 chassis, delivering 520hp and 2,550Nm of torque, has been built to a high specification.

The new truck features a range of factory-fitted upgrades, including axle load indicators, rear air suspension with eight bellows, a maxi space rear cab locker, and Bridgestone 13R 22.5 tyres. With two 16.5-tonne rear axles, this configuration offers exceptional load capacity, making it capable of recovering everything from Sprinter vans to fully loaded articulated lorries and even 100-tonne cranes.

The truck has been fitted with a high-performance recovery body from Dutch manufacturer Falkom, a supplier Sparrow regards as the best in the business.

A focus on operability and efficiency has also been made. Every option has been ticked, from custom alloy drawer kits and air dryers relocated for faster body fitting, to optimised airline routing and PTO compatibility, making this one of the most complete recovery vehicles operating today.
