Renault HD – heavy long-haul and construction trucks with six-cylinder diesels from 6.2 to 11.1 litres: gross vehicle weights from 12 to 27 tonnes, two- and three-axle chassis
The HD series belongs to the heavy trucks that Renault Véhicules Industriels – formed from Berliet and Saviem – built from the 1980s for long-distance and construction haulage. The model designation combines the power class (210 to 370) with the axle count or frame length in the second number block; suffixes such as PR denote particular equipment packages, while DIR.AR. indicates a steered rear axle on the three-axle construction versions. Renault Trucks, as the company has been known since 2002, has belonged to the Volvo Group since 2001 and continues to build trucks at, among other plants, Blainville-sur-Orne and Bourg-en-Bresse.

The register holds 28 versions here, all with six-cylinder engines from 6,174 to 11,116 cc, kerb weights from 6,360 to 13,020 kg, gross vehicle weights from 11,990 to 27,000 kg, lengths from 6,020 to 10,930 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,600 mm.
The HD range covered the medium and heavy segment, from the two-axle flatbed to the three-axle tipper for earthworks and landfill sites, and competed in long-haul work with Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Iveco. In France it remained in service with construction firms and hauliers into the 2000s.
On construction vehicles, check wear in the tipping hydraulics and axles; on all versions, check corrosion in the frame rails and leaf-spring suspension, and the condition of the clutch and manual gearbox. Parts for the engine and drivetrain are supplied through the Renault Trucks network, while body and cab parts are often only available through specialists in vintage commercial vehicles.
