History
• Renault first began building dedicated commercial trucks in 1906.[6] In 1956,
however Renault stopped producing trucks and buses under their own name.
Instead, the company Saviem was formed as a subsidiary of their own commercial
products with the manufacturers Somua and Latil.[2] Lighter commercials kept on
using the Renault name, however. From 1957 on, Saviem was also used as the brand
name for the trucks and buses produced by the company.
• As a result of French industrial policy, in 1975 state-owned Renault also acquired the
truck and bus manufacturer Berliet from Citroën[7] (at that time a part of
the Michelin corporation). In 1978, Berliet and Saviem were merged to form Renault
Véhicules Industriels. Again, the old brand names were retained for two more years
while the model lineups were gradually incorporated, until in 1980 they were
replaced by the name Renaul

History
• In 1978, PSA Group had bought Chrysler's European operations.[9] Included in the
deal were commercial vehicle operations in the UK and Spain, which at that time
used the brand name Dodge. PSA however sold them on to RVI in 1983, having itself
little interest in the commercial vehicle market.[10] The newly acquired operations in
the UK had their origins in the commercial vehicle branch of the Rootes
Group which originally carried the brand names Karrier and Comme

Changes of ownership
• As part of Renault's restructuring following privatisation in 1996, the heavy vehicles
operations of bus and truck were divested. In 1999, the Renault and Karosa bus and
coach operations were split off from Renault Véhicules Industriels and merged with
Fiat-Iveco's bus and coach operations to form the jointly owned
subsidiary Irisbus.[16] In 2003, Irisbus became a full subsidiary of Iveco and the brand
Renault on its products was replaced by the brand Irisbus.
• On 2 January 2001, Renault V. I. (including Mack Trucks, but not Renault S. A.'s stake
in Irisbus) was sold to Volvo, which renamed it Renault Trucks in 2002.[20] As a result,
the mother company Renault S. A. was Volvo's biggest shareholder, with a 20%
stake, shares and voting rights, but the majority of this was sold in October 2010,
leaving a 5.1% stake.[21] In December 2012, Renault sold its remaining shares in
Volvo

Military vehicles
• The Renault Trucks Defense division is wholly owned by Renault Trucks and is
based in Versailles, France. It trades on its 1975 acquisition of Berliet and claims to
have over 30,000 vehicles in use around the world.[23] Its status as the leading
supplier to the French Army was put in jeopardy in 2010 when the government
placed a $214m order to Italian competitor Iveco.[24] In 2016, Volvo announced its
intention of divesting Renault Trucks Defense, as part of the selling of its
Government Sales division.[25]
