Renault car - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org:  Renault S.A. is a French vehicle manufacturer producing small to upper-midsize cars, vans, buses and trucks. Renault is properly pronounced "Rhen-oh" but some people incorrectly pronounce it "Reh-nought". Renault is known for car concepts like the Renault 16 or the one-box concepts of Twingo, Scénic and Espace, the latter of which was the first modern European MPV. Currently Renault is the car manufacturer with the highest scores in EuroNCAP. History : The Renault corporation was founded in 1898 by Louis Renault and his brothers Marcel and Fernand, pioneers of the automobile industry and the people who introduced Taylorism in France. The brothers immediately recognized the publicity that could be gotten for their vehicles by participation in motor racing and they achieved instant success and name recognition in the first city-to-city races held in France. Both Louis and Marcel Renault raced a company vehicle but Marcel was killed in an accident during the 1903 Paris-Madrid race. Although Louis Renault never raced again, his company remained very involved, including their Renault AK 90CV winning the first ever Grand Prix motor racing event in 1906. The Renault factory racing team, 1902During WWI, Renault manufactured ammunition, military airplanes and vehicles such as the Renault FT-17 tank. Renault also manufactured taxi-cabs. Between the two world wars, Louis Renault enlarged the scope of his company, producing agricultural and industrial machinery. During WWII, Louis Renault's factories worked for Nazi Germany. He was, for this reason, arrested during the liberation of France in 1944 and died in prison before having prepared his defense. His industrial assets were seized by the government, and the Renault factories became a public industry (known as Régie Nationale des Usines Renault).

On April 9, 1986 the government of France ruled against the privatization of Renault. In 1996, the company was partially privatized to create Renault S.A. On January 2, 2001, Renault sold its industrial vehicle subdivision (Renault Véhicules Industriels) to Volvo, which renamed it Renault Trucks in 2002. Renault competed, as a constructor, in Formula One racing from 1977 to 1985 and again from 2002 onwards. Between these years they supplied engines to some Formula One teams, particularly Benetton and Williams teams in the 1990s. [br]From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. [br]
