Following on the back of the launch of all-new Trafic, Renault’s best-selling Light Commercial Vehicle with 1.6 million units sold, the brand has launched a video for the Web, produced in with the social media agency We Are Social.

The film is a remake of the famous opening sequence of Knight Rider, the cult TV show featuring Michael Knight, a modern-day hero working for a philanthropic foundation, and his high-tech car equipped with a built-in, artificially intelligent computer.

In Renault’s ‘Trafic Rider’ film, available on the brand’s YouTube channel, the new van plays the role of K.I.T.T. and Michael Knight has been replaced by everyday hero Michael Craftsman.

The aim is to creatively communicate the special bond that artisan business owners have with the Renault vehicles they use for their businesses and to showcase the performance of our LCVs.

Caroline Mechaï, Global Advertising & Media Director at Renault, says:

“This is an unprecedented initiative for a Renault LCV. The intention is to give Trafic a more dynamic image and reach out to a broader audience than simply business users.”

The All-New Renault Trafic went on sale in the UK in the summer with a choice of bodystyles – Short Wheel Base and Long Wheel Base – a choice of roof types, a range of four efficient diesel engines and a choice of three trim levels.  All-New Trafic is priced from £18,245 (ex VAT) and is available for customer deliveries now.
