Renault SA, trading over the counter as RNSDF, is a French multinational automobile manufacturer renowned for its diverse portfolio of passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles and electric mobility solutions. Founded in 1899 by Louis, Marcel and Fernand Renault, the company has grown into one of Europe’s largest automakers, distinguished by its early innovations in turbocharging, safety systems and design. Over more than a century, Renault has built a reputation for combining engineering excellence with accessible pricing, solidifying its place in global automotive history.
The company’s main business activities span research and development, design, manufacturing and the sale of a wide range of vehicles. Its lineup includes compact cars such as the Clio and Megane, sport utility vehicles like the Captur and Kadjar, and light commercial models under the Kangoo and Trafic names. In recent years, Renault has placed particular emphasis on electrification, introducing the ZOE and Twingo Electric city cars, as well as hybrid variants across its core segments.

Renault’s global footprint extends across Europe, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia, with manufacturing facilities in countries such as France, Spain, Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Morocco and India. In 1999, Renault entered into a strategic alliance with Nissan, later joined by Mitsubishi Motors, creating one of the world’s largest automotive partnerships. This alliance facilitates platform and technology sharing, joint purchasing and coordinated market strategies, enhancing the company’s ability to innovate and compete on a global scale.
Since July 2020, Renault has been led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Luca de Meo, whose tenure has focused on accelerating the company’s shift toward electrification and sustainable mobility. Under his leadership, Renault has unveiled a multi-year strategic plan aimed at improving profitability, streamlining operations and reinforcing its position in electric and hybrid vehicle segments.
