Renault AHx is the collective name of a family of French, mainly military, WWII and post-war trucks. The first prototype vehicles of this family appeared in 1940, and serial production continued in 1941-1947, mainly in the Boulougne-Billancourt plant in the suburbs of Paris. In the AHS version, the car was powered by a single gasoline engine with a capacity of 2.4 liters and 52 HP, while in the AHN and AHR versions the engine had a capacity of 4.05 liters and an output of 75 HP.

In 1939, in France, and more precisely at Renault, work began on a new series of 2-axle trucks with a load capacity of 2.5 tons (AHS model), 3.5 tons (AHN model) and 5 tons (AHR model). When designing all three trucks, care was taken to keep as many common mechanical components as possible and to keep production costs as low as possible. All models also used the same driver's cab, with a sloping front being a special feature. The first prototypes appeared in 1940, but due to the defeat of France in the same year, serial production started in 1941 for the needs of the German occupier. The main model, produced on a fairly large scale (about 4,000 copies), was the AHN version, serving in the German armed forces under the designation LKW 3.5t AHN. It was very often used as a transport car or light artillery tractor.
