The Berliet GR (rigid truck) and TR ( tractor truck ) was a family of heavy trucks manufactured by Berliet in two generations; the original design was first introduced in 1961 (GRK10, using the 1957 Relaxe cabin design) and the second generation, using the all-new square KB 2400 cabin, was introduced at the 1970 Paris Salon. The Berliet (and Saviem) brands were retired in April 1980; the GR/TR was replaced by a facelifted version of the KB 2400 cab called the Renault R-series.
28-497: Berliet offered a range of straight-six diesel engines in the various models, with a 14.9-litre V8 added on the second generation. The initial models received model numbers indicating the displacement in litres, such as TR10 or GR12. From 1968, the model code indicated engine power instead, with the models becoming the GR/TR200 and GR/TR250 respectively along with slight engine upgrades and incremental power increases. The original cab
56-519: A 19-tonne GVWR . The initial version had the gear shifter mounted on the dash and was fitted with a 9.5 litre, diesel inline-six. This engine, the M ;620Z, was built under a license from German MAN . The heavier 12.0-litre GR12 and TR12 (M 635 engine) were added in 1964. Maximum power outputs were listed in SAE by Berliet and were marginally higher than DIN ratings. The first 9.5-litre engine developed
84-500: A claimed 180 hp (132 kW); after a 1968 update (M 620P) power increased to 192 hp (141 kW). The 12.0-litre engine initially produced 240 hp (177 kW) at 2,200 rpm – examples exported to Germany had identical specifications but were rated 228 PS DIN (168 kW). The updated version of this engine used in the GR/TR250 has a claimed 250 hp (184 kW). These post-1968 models were marketed as

224-518: A somewhat rushed development and the initial model proved unreliable. Berliet replaced this with the reengineered GR/TR320 in late 1972 and a realignment of the lineup in 1973, adding an entire range of new models from the GR205 to the GR320 – just in time for the oil crisis . A second facelift in 1975 brought the headlamps down, out of the grille and into the bumper, along with a revised interior. This cabin
