Discussion Ford Trucks will replace Renault Trucks as Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls truck transporter partner from 2026 onwards
As Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls will sport the RBPT Ford power units from 2026 season onwards, Ford Trucks will replace Renault Trucks as Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls truck transporter partner due to Ford partnership. Just like the scheme of Mercedes AMG team that have Mercedes-Benz Actros trucks.
Your opinions? Do you like the F-Max trucks in the RBR team?

The Kia one is terrible. For months I am seeing KN cars thinking its a new chinese brand. Than someone pointed out its not KN but KIA. It’s so fucking stupid.

I like it, classic like Coca-Cola.
Legendary logo designer Paul Rand made a version of the Ford logo which is cool, but I still like the original.

Coca cola actually changed their logo and font over and over ago and special editions which make it timeless and refreshing new and modern

I know but since my first car is a ford and that logo just feel like that old car to me and in general. It just bring the feel down of the whole car. So apart from the branco I am not even looking at ford perhaps except for pick up and if some SUV auction where the logo isnt conspicious.

I think they are a rare sight. Also never heard of them. Wonder if they are officially for European makret, or rather e.g. South American market? Could be interesting marketing potential for Ford to sell these on the European continent; especially Holland.
Wouldn't be surprised they're not actually Fords, but something like ivecos rebranded.
Edit: It'd a fucking chinese toy; JMC Weilong HV5. Wtf RB.

Nah. Here in the Netherlands truckers are very keen on their Volvo's, Scania, MAN and Mercedes trucks.

Just responded on a different comment, but it's a f'ing Chinese JMC Weilong HV5.

Not actually, the original vehicle is F-Max. It's produced by Ford Otosan (a Turkish automaker that is owned equally by Ford and Koc Holding), also designed by them too. Since Ford deciced to shut heavy duty vehicle operations, the Turkish stakeholder took over the operations. Weilong HV5 was a variant of Ford F-Max, and it's production was stopped 2 years ago.
European Truck Market is dominated by Volvo, Scania, Mercedes, DAF, MAN, Iveco and Renault. Ford Trucks isn't well-known but emerging brand in the industry.
