Renault Trucks is a division of Volvo Trucks.

Renault history

The Renault company was founded in 1889 by brothers Louis and Marcel Renault in the suburbs of Paris. Renault's country of origin is France. In 1900, the company began production of light-duty trucks. Simultaneously, engineer Marius Berliet developed the first truck based on a single-cylinder gasoline engine. By the beginning of World War I, Renault established itself as a manufacturer of trucks and was a supplier for the Russian army. In addition, Renault and Berliet participated in the creation of heavy tanks.

In 1923, Renault automotive produced a road truck tractor, and in 1928 it was equipped with a diesel engine. The development of commercial Renault vehicles was influenced by the demand for vehicles during World War II and afterward. The Berliet company was taking over small engineering companies and, in 1957, created the heavy-duty truck T100.

Renault Véhicules Industriels was established in 1978. Renault took over Dodge Europe in 1983 and Mack in 1990, creating a huge concern of vehicle production. Basically, since 1983, the creation of the modern generation of Renault trucks has begun. In 2001, the company sold Renault Véhicules Industriels, which was in charge of trucks’ production. It was sold to Volvo Trucks, and since 2002 the company has been called Renault Trucks. Since then, Renault Truck has been owned by the Volvo Group, thus beginning a new phase in the history of the Renault brand.
