Like the founders of many automobile companies in the world, Louis Renault, the founder of Renault Automobile Company, is also a man full of interest in machinery. As early as 1998, Louis Renault, who was only 21 years old, founded Funuo Company in Biancu, a suburb of Paris. At that time, the factory had only six workers and only produced six cars a year. But in the process of starting a business, Louis Renault gave full play to his mechanical talent and invented the direct drive system and turbocharger. In 199, Renault won the Paris-Berlin car race one after another and became famous, and the company began to develop. In 197, taxis produced by Renault appeared on the streets of London and new york. In 1914, Renault Company formed mass production.
during the outbreak of the first world war, Renault not only produced cars, but also produced guns, ammunition, tanks and planes for the army, and made a fortune in war. In 1919, after the armistice, Renault became the most important private company in France, with a complete range of automobile products and a leading position in diesel engine technology in the world. By the outbreak of World War II, there were many factories in France, Belgium, Britain and other places. After the outbreak of World War II, France was occupied by the Germans, and the factory provided weapons and aircraft engines for the Germans. During the war, half the facilities of Renault's factory in Biancu were destroyed, almost destroyed. After the war, Renault was nationalized by the government. After the war, Renault merged many car companies with the support of government capital, and developed a variety of car products to occupy the market. In 1946, the famous 4CV car was introduced. This popular car sold well in the market and became the company's fist product. In 1954, the output of 4CV reached 5,, and in the following 1 years, a series of products such as Renault 4 and Renault 5 were also introduced. In 1975, the annual output reached 1.5 million vehicles, most of which were exported abroad, and Renault became the largest automobile manufacturer in France at that time.
in the early 198s, Renault developed rapidly, with an annual output of over 2 million vehicles. However, the rapid development leads to high debts and serious losses. In 1984, the annual output plummeted to 3, vehicles, and the enterprise was in jeopardy. Since 1985, Renault has carried out a series of enterprise reforms, implemented total quality management, and timely launched the multi-purpose single-compartment car Espace, which is the originator of MPV cars today. Enterprise reform and marketable products have brought Renault back to life again. Since 1987, the company has been profitable again, and has become one of the most profitable companies in the world automobile industry for more than ten years, except for a slight loss in 1996. Since 1992, Renault has become a private enterprise again.
Renault pays attention to innovation, and its automobile products are very complete. The main brands include Megan, Clio, Laguna, two for the road and Espace. Among them, Megan is the brand car with the most styles among compact cars, which all competitors can't match. The single-compartment car Scenic of Megan was also rated as Europe in 1997. Renault has many models, but few chassis types. Many models are based on the same chassis and then equipped with different specifications of engines to meet the needs of different people. On March 27, 1999, Renault signed an agreement with Nissan. Renault acquired 36.8% shares of Nissan and 22.5% shares of Nissan Diesel Vehicle Company with an investment of US$ 5.4 billion, and was guaranteed to hold 44.4% shares of Nissan five years later. Renault will send a vice president as the top operating officer of Nissan, so as to open up Asian market channels.
in China, Megane, Laguna and Vel Satis are all sold. Renault cars are full of romance, innovation and pursuit of individuality of French cars.
