After the war, Europe was rebuilt with all its might. There was a great demand for tractors to bring food production up to standard. The Second World War did not pass Renault by unscathed, the factory was bombed and Louis Renault died under mysterious circumstances. A few months after the liberation, the factory was transferred to state ownership. A new model was launched, based on existing technology. Now 4 digits were used as type names. Renault used power sources from its own factory and from Hispano-Hercules and Perkins.
By 1950, Renault was already by far the largest tractor manufacturer in France, accounting for 58 percent of total production.
