Renault trucks 3.5 to 12 t (class N2) – collective page from the Master and Mascott van chassis to the Midliner distribution truck: engines from 68 to 180 kW, displacements up to 11,000 cm³, gross weights up to 12 t
The EU vehicle class N2 covers trucks from 3.5 to 12 t gross vehicle weight; this page is a collective page built from registration data (Netherlands, Finland) bundling every Renault range recorded in that class. The lower end is formed by chassis-cab versions of the Master van and the higher-positioned Mascott, which in heavier configurations exceed the 3.5-tonne threshold; the upper end is the Midliner, a medium-duty distribution truck built from the 1980s until it was replaced by the Midlum around the turn of the millennium. Renault Trucks, trading as Renault Véhicules Industriels until 2002 and heir to the Berliet and Saviem brands, has belonged to the Volvo Group since 2001.

The register lists 142 versions with kerb weights of 1,890 to 9,200 kg and gross vehicle weights of 3,510 to 12,000 kg. Engine outputs are recorded for 36 models and range from 68 to 180 kW, displacements from 1,500 to 11,000 cm³ across 4 to 6 cylinders; length runs from 4,860 to 11,350 mm, width from 2,000 to 2,600 mm.
The span shows how fluid the line between light van and medium truck is at Renault: the Master and Mascott, as panel vans and chassis-cabs, address urban distribution traffic, while the Midliner, with a flatbed, box body or tipper, competed in classic regional freight transport against the MAN L/M range, Iveco Eurocargo and Mercedes-Benz Atego.
On a used example, what matters on the van derivatives is frame corrosion at the tow hitch and the condition of the rear axle, on the Midliner the clutch, brakes and condition of the load body; on the older models, listed in the register only under short codes, it is worth checking the chassis number, as type plates are often missing. Spare parts for the Master and Mascott are readily available through the Renault network, for older Midliner stock more limited.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
