Renault LD – the collective page of heavy Renault trucks bearing the register code LD: diesel engines, 158 to 210 kW, 5,100 to 7,700 cm³, unladen weights of 4,209 to 7,848 kg across twelve versions
This collective page gathers the heavy Renault Trucks vehicles listed in the register under the code LD. Renault Trucks, headquartered in Saint-Priest near Lyon, traces back to Renault's commercial-vehicle division and the absorbed brands Berliet and Saviem, and has belonged to the Volvo Group since 2001. With twelve models recorded in the register, the LD range is broader than neighbouring ranges, and through varying cab and axle configurations, identifiable by suffixes such as LAIR, LPAR and LGA in the type designation, covers a wide field of bodies between distribution transport and heavy construction-site work.

The register lists 12 versions with 158 to 210 kW from diesel engines of 5,100 to 7,700 cm³ displacement and unladen weights from 4,209 to 7,848 kg, all diesel-powered.
Renault trucks of this power class occupy the segment between medium-duty distribution trucks and heavy long-haul trucks, competing there directly with comparable ranges from Mercedes-Benz, MAN and DAF; the LD range's broad model line-up reflects the multitude of body variants offered on this chassis.
On a used Renault LD, the mileage and service history of the diesel engine, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, rust on the frame and axles, and on tipper and construction versions the condition of the hydraulics and body all count; parts run through the Renault Trucks network.
