Renault

Renault Groupe is a French multinational vehicle company founded in 1899. In addition to automobiles and vans, the firm has formerly built trucks, tractors, tanks, buses/coaches, airplanes and aviation engines, and auto rail vehicles. Renault, another major pillar of French automobiles, features cheap vehicles such as cars and vans. Although the French automaker used to build trucks and buses, its main manufacturing locations (including Dacia in Romania and Samsung Motors in South Korea) now mainly focus on Clio, Megane, Captur, Koleos, Scenic, and a few others.

Acquisitions of old auto manufacturing plants in Romania and South Korea resulted in a variety of French vehicles marketed under national brands: Sandero, Logan, Lodgy, and Duster in Romania, and Renault Samsung, Scala, and Talisman in South Korea. These less expensive variants do particularly well in emerging markets.

Renault also evaluated electric cars, which finally positioned the Renault Zoe among the top British choices, ahead of the Volvo V60 plug-in and the Mitsubishi Outlander. Renault, as a cheaper option, won the hearts of Europeans, propelling overall electric car sales in 2014.
