Saviem Renault – other models: the SG 2 range from before Renault Véhicules Industriels, four- and six-cylinder engines of 2,936 to 3,317 cc, kerb weight 2,260 to 3,048 kg
Saviem – Société Anonyme de Véhicules Industriels et d'Équipements Mécaniques – was formed in 1955 from the merger of the commercial vehicle divisions of Renault, Somua and Latil, and independently built trucks and buses until 1978, when the brand became part of Renault Véhicules Industriels. The SG 2 range listed here was Saviem's medium-duty cab-over truck; suffixes such as SG 2MB 35 and SG 2E denote body variant and engine within the range.

The register lists 4 versions with 2,936 to 3,317 cc from four- to six-cylinder engines, kerb weights of 2,260 to 3,048 kg at a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg and widths of 2,000 to 2,160 mm.
The SG 2 competed directly in France with medium-duty trucks from Berliet and from Renault itself, serving as the basis for municipal, haulage and fire-service vehicles. With the merger into Renault Véhicules Industriels and later Renault Trucks, the brand's cab-over tradition lived on in new ranges.
When buying these historic cab-over trucks, key points are corrosion on the cab and frame, the condition of the cab's mounting and tilting mechanism, and the condition and tightness of the engine and injection pump. Spare parts for these model years are today mostly available only through specialist vintage truck dealers and clubs, as the Saviem brand has not existed independently since 1978.
