The Renault Midliner was a medium-weight distribution truck from Renault Trucks . It was available as a flatbed truck (automobile) and a chassis . Renault Trucks last produced the model at the Blainville-sur-Orne plant . The Midliner carried the four- person club cab and originally started as a model of the Renault subsidiary Saviem as the Saviem JP / JN in the lighter version and Saviem HB for the heavier payloads. In the case of the heavier models, the external difference was that the headlights were integrated in the bumpers instead of the radiator grille, and they were also available as a double cab. After the merger of Renault's subsidiaries Saviem and Berliet in 1978 to Renault Véhicules Industriels , the model was only offered in the home market as Renault Saviem JP / JN and GF / GR / GB and after a facelift in 1979 the brand name Saviem disappeared. From 1982 the series was called Renault JK / G on the domestic market and from 1985 Renault-S and G.

As early as 1979, the model was sold as a Mack Midliner by Renault partner Mack Trucks , while it was offered on the export markets as the Renault S or G series. In the course of the 1980s the name Midliner was also introduced on the export markets, in Germany from 1983. After the first modernization at the transition from Saviem to Renault in 1979, there was another revision in 1987 with a more modern front design. At the same time, from now on, the heavier variant was externally identical to the S-series and was now offered for export as Renault Midliner-M or MK, in the home market as Renault M / MK. In 1991 the series officially became the Renault Midliner in its home market. In 1995 there was another major overhaul of the body and the interior. While the exterior of the building only changed in stages during the long construction period from 1975 to 2000, there was always an evolution in technology. In 1975, diesel engines were started with swirl chamber injection , but models with turbochargers soon followed . In the 1980s, direct injection diesel engines and anti-lock braking systems were introduced . In the 1990s, airbags and common rail injection diesel engines followed, along with many other technical improvements. In 2000 production was stopped and the Renault Midlum became the successor model.
