France's largest motor-vehicle manufacturer,
founded 1898, nationalized 1944.
Louis Renault (1877-1944) formed the company
with his brothers Fernand and Marcel. In 1899
they began automobile racing, which boosted
the sales of their automobiles, and by 1908
they were producing 5,000 automobiles a year.
The company produced tanks for the French
army in both world wars.
