The history of the brand began with the Renault brothers (Louis, Marcel and Fernand), who in 1899 founded a company called “Société Renault Fréres”, or simply “Company of the Renault Brothers”.
The first car designed by Louis Renault was built in 1898, and initially the production of prototypes and cars took place in a simple barn on the family estate in Billancourt.
After a year of operation, the company had 110 employees and was able to produce 76 cars with a new logo on the hood.
At first, the Renault brothers used engines from other manufacturers for their cars, but in 1902.
Louis developed his first engine, which with a working volume of 3750 cc. cm produced about 25 hp. This was quite satisfactory compared to other pioneering developments, which sometimes reached a power of several horsepower.
From the very beginning, the company exhibited its cars in sports races, because at that time, success in sports was the best advertising. Unfortunately, Marcel Renault died during the Paris-Madrid race in 1903.
In 1909, when Fernand also died, the company name was changed to “Les Automobiles Renault”, or “Renault Cars”. World War I soon began.
The cars of the brand under the diamond became famous thanks to their participation in a military operation of unprecedented scale.
During the bloody and fierce battle with the German troops on the Marne, the French army decided to requisition about 500 Parisian taxis in order to provide its army with the necessary food.
Thanks to the efficient transportation of additional soldiers to the front, the German offensive was successfully stopped. Since then, these taxis have become known as “taxi de la Marne”.
During the war, the company produced not only cars for the army, but also aircraft engines, famous tanks and even aircraft and ammunition.
For his services to the country, Louis Renault was awarded the national order of the Legion of Honor, which is the highest state award in France.
The current range of the company, based in Billancourt, includes designs for the 21st century. The buyer can choose from city models (Zoe, Clio), compact models (Megane in R. S., Grandtour, GrandCoupé versions), SUVs (Kadjar, Koleos, Arkana) to more luxurious ones (Talisman, Espace, Trafic SpaceClass).
Many of them use hybrid or fully electric drives (such as Zoe).
Renault cars of the 21st century are moving towards new technologies faster than ever before and keep up with competitors from other brands without too much fuss.
