A military model of the Renault TRM 2000 truck was introduced to the French military forces in 1981 for the first time. The vehicle was capable of climbing a 50% slope, descending a 30% slope, carrying loads of up to two tons, and crossing streams up to 80 cm wide.
The heart of the car is a 4-cylinder engine from MAN. The car also has a civilian version with a shorter chassis. It has proven itself well during use in the firefighting services.
Deliveries of TRM 2000 to the military forces continued until 1994. By that time, the number of cars was 5,600 units. Its production stopped in the 90s.
Nowadays, the car is used for military purposes to transport personnel, compressors, welding units and other equipment. In terms of parameters and technical characteristics, the TRM 2000 is similar to the Soviet GAZ-66. It is noteworthy that all maintenance operations are mechanized and drivers do not take part in this process.
TRM 2000 Nowadays
French military trucks provided such an extra-high reliability level that even those vehicles that were discharged in the 90s, they still are in demand for serving in various military services around the world.
Partially, the Renault TRM 2000 fleet remains in the French army, where it continues to perform core functions and is subject to an extensive renovation program that started in 2018. There are plans to update the oldest samples, produced from 1982 to 1992.
The tasks of the French army are more than ambitious. They strive to renovate about 7,000 vehicles. But so far the Heavy Duty Successor program is moving very slowly. In 2020, the army received only 15 updated copies. There are immediate plans to prepare another 200 vehicles for foreign units.
