Renault gamme G

The Renault G range is a distribution truck made at Blainville-sur-Orne by Renault Vehicules industriels from 1980. Its cab, launched by Saviem in 1977 with five or six-cylinder engines and a year later by Berliet, is the wide version of the cab of the J range. The trucks of the G range have a six-cylinder MID 06.20.45 diesel engine of 9.8 litres and 182 to 338 horsepower, a manual gearbox of 9 or 18 speeds, air suspension and compressed-air brakes with ABS. There are 4x2, 6x2 and 6x4 configurations, as a rigid truck of 26 tonnes gross weight and as a tractor with a trailer up to 44 tonnes combined weight. The G range is also used for municipal services. It became the Manager model in 1992 and was then replaced by the Premium Distribution.
