Traditionally, one of the big six automakers in Europe, Renault is expanding its activities in recent years through its subsidiary Dacia and Samsung even more benefits are obtained by the alliance with Nissan - or actually owned Nissan - thanks to powertrain sharing platforms and factories They formed the fifth largest automotive group Renault and Nissan world is completed in different markets, for example, Renault is strong in Europe and Latin America, but it has no presence in North America and Japan, while Nissan is well established in Japan and NA and lower in Europe and South America which is really a wedding in heaven.
As Henry Ford, the young Louis Renault was a self-taught engineer fascinated by the idea of cars he built his first car in 1898 and founded his company with the financial support of his older brothers, Marcel and Fernand 6 cars were made this year this increased to 179 cars in 1900 and nearly 1,500 cars in 5 years more, thanks to a contract for the supply of taxis in Paris.
After visiting Henry Ford in America and saw the Citroen rival expansion, Louis Renault followed suit to apply mass production lines at its plant in 1922. Consequently, production jumped to 25,000 cars in 1924 Renault has become a major automobile manufacturers in the world.
Unlike Citroen, Renault built a wide range of vehicles, from small cars to luxury cars, also vans, trucks, buses and even tanks during the two world wars, like many other automakers, it was converted to produce military vehicles and aircraft engines in World war II it was occupied by German forces was therefore all France and worked for the German army as a result, after the war, Louis Renault was found guilty and was sentenced to only 20 days later, he died in prison.
Therefore, the company was nationalized The new boss appointed by the government has continued to expand the factory and the introduction of new cars, also eliminated the wide range in the pre-war policy the only production model mass became 4CV, which was a small motor car rear-He was immediately successful in the marketplace, with 1 1 million units sold between 1947 and 1961, winning crucial currency for France.
The 4CV was replaced by Renault 4, a front wheel spacious small car, he was considered a top range alternative to the Citroën 2CV, but it has been proven even more popular - 8 1 million units were built in 1961 -1993, making it the most popular car in French history another model successfully Renault 5 was launched in 1972 as the first supermini.
Since 1960, Renault had regained range of several models to pursue sales growth of production increased from 500,000 units in 1963-1 3 million units in 1975. In 1981, Renault became the largest automaker in Europe, with a production rate of 2 million cars a year and a workforce of over 200,000 people, many more people than necessary at its peak, he sought expansion into the US market by taking on truck AMC American Motor Corporation and Mack it has expanded to Scandinavia by taking minority stakes in Volvo cars has also entered F1 racing with its trend setting turbocharged car race.
However, the expansion did nothing to help the company but ate in its cash flow Although its European cars were still popular, has been hampered owned Renault State by its size and lack general efficiency, it was due to strong unions and political influence of the government left it recorded heavy losses in 1984, the government appointed a new president, Georges Besse, restructuring has taken radical decisions to reduce some 21000 workers, sell all non-core businesses, including AMC and Volvo and end the F1 program reform has been strongly confronted with strikes and finally ended in tragedy - Besse was assassinated in 1986, however, his successor continued reform and Renault in black again.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Renault has introduced some innovative models such as Twingo, Espace and Scénic His new Clio range and Mégane also sold well and helped found prosperity in the side of the steering, Renault planned merger complete with Volvo since 1990 they plan ultimately failed realized the collaboration would be necessary to repel stronger competition, however, because of opposition from Swedish shareholders and the political difficulties within the French government, that both wanted to take control of the merged company.
Louis Schweitzer took over the top job in 1992 and has pushed for the privatization of the company, which was the only way to lift its long-term competitiveness A few years later, the French government reduced its stake to 15 7 From Renault was free to make decisions to the best of its own interests Carlos Ghosn, the No. 2 man in Schweitzer, simplified purchasing and supply chains Renault promoting common components and platforms This earned him the nickname cost of the killer.
In 1999, Renault has made a courageous decision to acquire 36 8 stakes in Nissan in trouble later increased to 44 4 to form the 4th largest automotive group in the world Carlos Ghosn was transferred to Japan, he used his murder costs the expertise of Nissan recovery returned to profit in less than two years and erased its debt in 3 years Earned enormous benefits for Renault and became its most valuable investment ever made Ghosn's success at the first position of whole Renault Nissan group.
Aside from Nissan, Renault also acquired the Romanian automaker Dacia in 1999 and the Korean car manufacturer Samsung in 2000 to strengthen its production and market base in 2016, the group added Mitsubishi under its umbrella.
