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.

38-521: 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
57-501: 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
76-619: A luxurious version of the GR/TR called the Centaure.

The interior featured a kitchenette, external shower, WC, sleeping compartment, air conditioning, and custom finishes.

114-482: 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

152-518: 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

There was also a lower-rated version of the GR10/TR10 with a maximum load of 10 tonnes, intended for European export markets where the weight limit was lower than in France. These models were called the GF12/TF12; only around thirty examples were built. Berliet consistently lobbied

Only 778 examples were built and it was replaced in July 1972 (after less than two years) by the 14.9-litre GR/TR320; a much more reliable and lower-stressed engine; power went up marginally to 310 PS (228 kW). In late 1977 a new model was added below the V8-engined versions: the turbocharged, six-cylinder GR/TR305 (MDR 635) - this has
304-478: The same maximum power as the old GR/TR300, but with significantly higher torque: 1,255 N⋅m (926 lb⋅ft) at 1,400 rpm.
