Renault FR1 facts for kids
The Renault FR1 was a type of bus made by the French company Renault. It was built for about ten years, from 1987 to 1997. These buses were often used for longer trips, like coaches, carrying many passengers comfortably.
What Powers the Renault FR1?
The Renault FR1 was known for its strong engine. It had a 9.8-liter diesel engine with six cylinders. This engine also featured a turbocharger, which is a special device that helps the engine get more power by pushing extra air into it.
This powerful engine could produce different amounts of horsepower, either 303 hp or 340 hp. This made the FR1 reliable for long journeys and carrying heavy loads of passengers and luggage.
A New Look: The Renault Iliade
In 1997, the Renault FR1 received an update. This update was like a "facelift" for the bus, meaning it got a fresh, new look and some improvements. After this update, the bus was given a new name: the Renault Iliade. So, the Iliade was essentially the next version of the FR1, with a more modern design.
