Renault S.A. is a French vehicle manufacturer producing cars, vans, buses, tractors and trucks.

When its cars were exported to the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, it was decided to pronounce the name as "Ren-ALT" in marketing to the American public, and the Anglicized pronunciation continues in common usage. However in Britain, it is pronounced "Ren-o". The French pronunciation is closer to "Ruh-No".

History


The Renault corporation was founded in 1898 as Société Renault Frères by Louis Renault and his brothers Marcel and Fernand. Louis was a bright, aspiring young engineer who had already designed and built several models before teaming up with his brothers, who had honed their business skills working for their father's textiles firm; Louis handled design and production, Marcel & Fernand handled company management. The first Renault car, the Renault Voiturette was sold to a friend of Louis, after giving him a test ride. The client was so impressed for the way the tiny car ran through the street that he bought it.
