Renault HR – collective page of heavy Renault tractor units and trucks: six-cylinder engines of 11.1 litres displacement, 18.6 to 27 tonnes gross weight, pusher-axle versions
This page gathers heavy Renault trucks and tractor units with the HR type designation, whose engines of around eleven litres and six cylinders correspond to the heavy ranges of Renault Véhicules Industriels. The company was formed in 1978 from the merger of Renault's commercial-vehicle division with Berliet and Saviem, and has traded since 2002 as Renault Trucks within the Volvo Group; the heavy ranges are still built at the Blainville-sur-Orne plant in Normandy. The suffixes in the model names, such as T for Tracteur (tractor unit) and PUSHER for a non-driven trailing axle ahead of the drive axle, describe the chassis and axle configuration of each version.

The register lists here 11 versions, all from six-cylinder engines of around 11.1 litres, unladen weights from 6,450 to 16,240 kg, gross weights from 18,600 to 27,000 kg, lengths from 5,820 to 11,940 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.
Heavy Renault ranges of this generation competed directly with Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Scania and DAF in European long-haul and construction-site transport; the pusher-axle versions were used above all on tipper and concrete-mixer bodies, where the extra axle increases payload.
On used examples, rust on the frame and fittings, the condition of the clutch and manual gearbox, the tightness of the injection system and, on the pusher axles, their steering and bearings count; parts run through the Renault Trucks and Volvo Group network.
