Renault trucks over 12 tonnes (class N3) – collective page from the old Renault C-series through AE/Major to the modern D-series: 246 records, 144 to 390 kW, gross weights up to 53 tonnes

This page collects registration records for heavy Renault trucks in the EU class N3. The model list includes several historical series: the C-series of the 1980s/1990s (C 380 to C 520), the AE series, i.e. the successor sold under the name Renault Major/Magnum (AE380 to AE520), and the modern D-series, built since 2013 (D 13, D 14, D 16) for medium-to-heavy distribution and construction transport. Renault Trucks, operating as Renault Véhicules Industriels until 2002, has been part of the Volvo Group since 2001.

The register lists 246 versions with outputs of 144 to 390 kW, displacements up to 16,400 cm³ across 4 to 8 cylinders, unladen weights of 4,320 to 27,600 kg, gross weights of 12,200 to 53,000 kg and lengths of 5,750 to 12,000 mm at 2,280 to 2,600 mm width.

As a collective class, the Renault N3 page traces an arc from traditional 1980s French truck manufacturing to today's D-series, which is technically related to Volvo; in long-haul transport Renault competes directly, via the T-series not included here, with the Volvo FH, Mercedes-Benz Actros and Scania R/S, while the D-series addresses the MAN TGM and DAF LF/CF instead.

When buying used, as with any heavy truck, what counts is frame corrosion, the clutch and gearbox, the brake system, and a documented service history; model designation and technical data for individual vehicles are best checked against the chassis number.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
