The Berliet TLR 10R: A Giant of French Transport
The Berliet TLR 10R was launched in the early 1960s as one of the flagship models of the Lyon-based brand's heavy truck range. This robust truck was specifically designed to meet the growing needs of French road transport during a period of intense modernization of national infrastructures.
Equipped with a high-performance diesel engine and a transmission suitable for heavy loads, the TLR 10R stood out for its exceptional reliability and versatility. The recovery version, like the one reproduced in this miniature, was particularly appreciated by towing professionals for its pulling capacity and stability during towing operations.
Its commercial success was immediate, quickly establishing itself on French roads and helping to cement Berliet's reputation for excellence in the world of heavy trucks.
Berliet: The Legacy of a French Industrial Giant
In the 1960s, when the TLR 10R was born, Berliet was experiencing a period of rapid expansion. The Lyon-based company, founded by Marius Berliet in 1899, established itself as one of Europe's leaders in heavy transport, competing with the largest international manufacturers.
This era marked the golden age of the diamond-shaped brand, which developed a complete range of industrial vehicles, from light utilities to the most imposing heavy trucks. The Berliet philosophy, focused on robustness and durability, found its perfect expression in models like the TLR 10R. At that time, the company employed thousands of employees and exported its products worldwide, proudly representing the French automotive industry.
The story of Berliet reflects the dynamic nature of the post-war French industry, a time when the brand actively contributed to the reconstruction and modernization of the country, notably through its utility vehicles and heavy trucks.
The Saga of ARTIS Recovery Trucks
The "ARTIS" livery of this Berliet recovery truck evokes a little-known yet fascinating chapter in the history of French automotive recovery. ARTIS was one of the main recovery brands of the 1960s-1970s, recognized for its quality service and national coverage.
These Berliet TLR 10R ARTIS recovery trucks roamed the French roads at a time when the national automobile fleet was experiencing exponential growth. Their interventions, often heroic, marked the busy holiday departures and weekend returns, when breakdowns multiplied on still fragile vehicles.

These trucks were equipped with the most advanced recovery technologies of the time, with hydraulic cranes and powerful winches, capable of getting even the most stubborn vehicles back on their wheels.
Symbolic of an era when affordable automobiles were conquering France, these ARTIS recovery trucks fully participated in the adventure of French mobility, accompanying families on holiday roads and ensuring the continuity of professional road transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
