Renault S.A. is a France-based multinational automobile manufacturer with a history dating back to its founding in 1899 by Louis, Marcel and Fernand Renault. Headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, near Paris, the company designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Renault is also known for its electric vehicle (EV) offerings—such as the ZOE, Kangoo Z.E. and Twizy—as well as its internal combustion-engine models including the Clio, Captur, Mégane and Arkana.
In addition to its core vehicle manufacturing operations, Renault provides financing, leasing and insurance services through its wholly owned subsidiary RCI Banque et Services. The company supports its vehicles through an extensive global network of dealerships and service centers, and it offers parts and accessories for both its own brands and its legacy partners. Aftermarket maintenance and mobility solutions—such as fleet management and long-term vehicle rental—complement its product portfolio.
Renault is a founding member of the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance, which enables platform sharing, joint research and co-development of electric and autonomous technologies. The alliance operates in more than 190 countries, with manufacturing facilities across Europe, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. The company also maintains strategic joint ventures in markets such as South Korea (Renault Samsung Motors) and China (e.g., past operations with Dongfeng Motor Group).
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Luca de Meo, appointed in July 2020, and Chairman Jean-Dominique Sénard, Renault has accelerated its electric‐first strategy and invested heavily in low-emission powertrains and digital services. The company continues to leverage over a century of automotive expertise while pursuing sustainability targets, operational efficiency and new mobility solutions for urban and shared-transport environments.
