[3] EGs, along with the Berliet CBA, the Latil TAR, the Renaults EP and FU, and the Saurer Type B, were key vehicles of the Voie Sacrée (Holy Road) for supplying the French army during the Battle of Verdun.

[5] In March 1924, the French military commissioned more powerful successors of both the Renault EG and the Latil TAR.

At tests conducted in 1926, the Renault candidate was not conclusively better than the EG, so the plan to replace it was abandoned.

[4] In the late 1920s, some EGs were fitted with a more powerful 7.8-litre inline-four engine delivering 57 metric horsepower (42 kW).

The double wheels are made of cast steel and are of the same diameter (1,000 millimetres (39 in)) both on front and rear.
