This makes me wonder just how many other badges Renaults have worn.

Well, it’s not REALLY a Hino :) ... It’s Renault 4Cv used under license,

EDIT: hey, I’m only the 3rd guy to roughly give you the same answer haha, sorry :)

Opel/Vauxhall/Nissan/Mercedes/Dacia/Samsung are the modern ones I can think of. Sure there’s plenty more historical ones.

Is Runo a nickname? I thought these were sold as 4cv in Japan too.

Btw, runo is finnish for poem.
