This image dates back to the 1950s and shows one of the most clever engineering ideas in the world of vehicles: the Renault Estafette truck, Renault's first front-wheel-drive vehicle.
What sets this truck apart is not only its beautiful design but also the ingenious way it was engineered to make maintenance easier. The entire engine and driving system can be pulled forward with a simple operation, significantly reducing maintenance time and facilitating access to every part of the vehicle.
The engine was small with a capacity of around 1.0 liters and generated about 45 horsepower, but it was sufficient to perform daily tasks efficiently.
Meticulous engineering… and simplicity that makes us wonder:
Do you think modern cars need to return to such designs? Share your opinion
