It was sold alongside the Renault Magnum as a slightly lower positioned alternative. There was also a version intended for lighter duty construction work called the Premium Lander, positioned beneath the heavy-duty Kerax. The Premium was mainly used as a distribution truck, competing with for example the DAF CF and Volvo FM.
At launch, the Premium was available with either a 9.8 or 11.1 6-cylinder diesel engine. Later Euro IV engines were sourced from parent company Volvo Trucks.
