Motor vehicle
The Saviem SM8 (8-ton payload) was a range of medium-duty trucks manufactured by the French manufacturer Saviem between 1967 and 1975. The truck was part of the Saviem SM range.
The cabin was a tip cab (Type 812). The range had a rigid form and two tractor units (SM8 T, SM8 Y). The wheelbases were between 3m and 5.3m.
The engine used for the SM8 (and also the SM7) was the 597/797, a naturally aspirated Diesel engine with a power output of 112Â kW (150Â hp) at 2900 rpm (on its later evolutions) and a torque of 402Â Nâ‹…m (296Â lbâ‹…ft) at 1700 rpm.[1]
A 5-speed (4 synchronised) 301-12 manual gearbox was mounted as standard.
The SM8 had a suspension of leaf springs with dampers at the front and rear.
The SM8 4×4 was the four-wheel-drive version of the SM8. It was used as an off-roader and military vehicle.
It was a permanent 4×4 with locking centre differential in the transfer case. The SM8 4×4 also had a differential lock on the rear axle. The truck had a variable flexibility suspension with Evidgom shock absorbers. It had single or dual rear wheels and two tip cabs available (pressed steel and torpedo).[2]
The vehicle was manufactured between 1977 and 1989 by Saviem and RVI. It adopted the name Renault SM8 4×4 in 1980 and Renault TRM4000 in 1986.
