The TN series of buses from Renault launched in 1931 was considered as a symbol of Paris by France’s leading newspaper called Le Monde.

It was on the request of Société des Transports en Commun de la Région Parisienne (STCRP), a government-owned bus firm that Renault developed this bus which was 9.5 meters in length. Designed to carry 50 passengers, this bus model became so famous that some say led to the demise of the tram system that was all over in Paris. During the war, the buses were deployed for the military.

It was in 1932 that the TN6C2 model was introduced. With 3 different sections, this bus had a separate cabin for the driver, the middle enclosed section with first (17 seats) and second class 17 seats and a rear open deck to carry 16 standing passengers i.e. a total of 50 passengers.

These buses were in use until the late 1960s.
