The SAVA-Berliet GPS12 was a heavy truck with a set-back cab built by the Spanish company SAVA in Valladolid between 1965 and 1969 under licence from the French maker Berliet. It was based on the 6x2 version of the Berliet GBH and was SAVA's first and only heavy transport truck, the result of an agreement signed in April 1964. It was offered with single or twin rear wheels, rated for 24 or 26 tonnes of load, and used a 12 litre Matacás engine of 240 horsepower with a five-speed gearbox and reduction gear. Its Relaxe-derived cab was imported entirely from France. The truck had torsion bar suspension and a special brake for the middle axle, but the engine had a poor reputation for reliability. Only about 500 were made, because Enasa, the Pegaso maker, controlled SAVA from 1966 and restructured its range.
