The times when a vehicle was considered a luxury, and motorists had only a few at their disposal. domestic cars, are in the past.
The modern automotive market offers dozens various brands, including foreign manufacturers. One of them is Renault.
This brand has earned popularity in the CIS countries, thanks to its reliability, solid appearance and low price.
With the advent of factories in Russia, Renault cars have become even more accessible to domestic car owners.
Where are these cars made? What factories are operating in Russia today? How to determine the country of origin by the VIN (VIN) code? These issues require detailed consideration.
General information about RENAULT
The Renault Group is a well-known French corporation that sells its cars in more than 200 countries around the world.
Renault is headquartered in the city of Boulogne-Billangcourt, located near Paris.
Renault Group controls several branches at once - Nissan Motors and Renault Samsung Motors, and also owns shares in Dacia (Romania), Volvo, AvtoVAZ and other companies.
In addition to the main activity, Renault produces engines for various manufacturers, including for some Mercedes-Benz models.
In Russia, cars of this brand appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. So, in 1916, the activities of Russian Renault JSC were launched, which includes two factories located on the territory of Rybinsk and Petrograd.
The main activity was the production of tractors, cars and airplanes.
After the revolution, the work of factories was stopped due to nationalization, and work was resumed only in the 60-70s. It was during that period that an official representation was opened and many agreements were concluded.
In the early 1990s, offices appeared in Moscow, and in July 1998 a strategic agreement was signed to open the Avtoframos company. A year later, the first shop for assembling Megan models began work, and then Simbol.
Since 2005, a full cycle of car production has been launched, and a year later Renault was recognized as the best-selling car in Russia.
By 2012, Renault's share in Avtoframos reached 100%, and in 2014 the name changed - it was transformed into CJSC Renault Russia.
Renault hatchbacks have been produced in Russia since 2009 (test assembly), and a full-fledged production started a year later. In 2010, about 160 thousand cars were produced. A year later, the assembly of Renault Duster was established.
The history of Renault and AvtoVAZ deserves special attention. In 2008, Renault acquired a quarter of all shares in the company, and in 2014 the number valuable papers in the hands of the French exceeded 50%.
Such rapprochement is caused by the desire to revive the domestic auto industry, to increase its competitiveness in the domestic and global arena.
If we talk in general by Renault producing countries, we can distinguish several main plants:
- Romania. Cars are produced here mainly for Europe, although some part also enters the territory of Russia.
- Brazil is one of the largest Renault producing countries. The only thing is that the Brazilian versions of cars do not reach the Russian Federation.
- India. Here, production is mainly focused on the domestic market, African and Asian countries.
- Russia. On the territory of the Russian Federation, Renault cars are produced near Moscow and at AvtoVAZ.
In which countries, and where is Renault Logan assembled, are there factories in Russia?
This vehicle has an enlarged ground clearance(19.5 cm without load) and more powerful chassis elements.
In addition, it has undergone changes and appearance vehicle - the shape of the bumpers has changed, plastic thresholds have been installed, powerful wheel arches and roof rails.
In terms of equipment, here the equipment is somewhere between Expression and Prestige.
The release of the car in Russia started already in the year of its appearance at the Avtoframos plant, near Moscow.
Renault Duster
On the territory of Russia, Duster is assembled in the same place - near Moscow, at the Renault Russia plant.
Every year, 150,000 cars are produced, which fully covers the needs of the domestic market. Certain volume Vehicle also supplied to neighboring countries.
Renault Kaptur
Another model noteworthy- which can be attributed to novelties. This small crossover, which is based on Renault Clio 4th generation.
The car was first presented in Geneva in 2013. The start of production in Spain falls on the same year.
In the spring of 2016, it was presented a new version Renault Kaptur, characterized by high ground clearance and increased body size. It is based on the well-known Duster.
The machine is equipped with two types of engines (1.6 and 2.0 liters), manual transmission, automatic transmission or. Sales of the new model began in the summer of 2016.
Renault Kaptur is assembled at two factories - Renault and AvtoVAZ (including the new model).
Due to the similarity with Duster cars, there was no need to change the production process.
In 2016, about 15,000 cars were produced at the Renault plant near Moscow Renault Captur, but the available reserves are sufficient to increase production to 18-20 thousand cars annually.
Renault Megane
Renault Megane cars are considered one of the oldest representatives of the French brand. The car appeared back in 1996 and replaced the obsolete Renault 19.
For 22 years release of Megane“survived” three restylings that almost completely changed its appearance.
Over the years of its existence, the car was produced in the following countries (only a few are given):
- France. The first generation Megane was produced exclusively on the territory of the "native" plant. At the same time, cars for the Russian Federation were assembled in the northern part of France, at the Daewoo plant.
- Spain (Palencia). The cars of the first and second generation were produced here.
- Türkiye. The Oyak-Renault plant produced 2nd and 3rd generation sedans.
- Russia. On the territory of the Russian Federation, Renault Megan of the 3rd generation was produced in 2012-2013, and since 2014, production of a restyled version has been launched near Moscow.
Renault Fluence
Renault Fluence ( Renault Fluence) - a compact car, which in 2009 replaced Megan, already outdated by that time.
It uses the platform of several cars - Nissan C, as well as two Renault models - Scenic and Megan.
Sales of the first cars started in the spring of 2010, first with a 1.6-liter engine, and then with a 2.0-liter engine. Today, a diesel engine has been added to the main range.
The car appeared on the Russian market in 2010. It was then that the production of the vehicle was launched at the Avtoframos plant (today Renault Russia).
Simultaneously with machines Russian assembly cars appeared on the territory of the Russian Federation from another manufacturing country - Turkey, and in 2013 the assembly started in South Korea.
How to determine the country of manufacture by the VIN code?
VIN code - a special digital designation, which in some way is a car passport.
With the help of 17 digits, you can find out the history of the machine, determine the date of manufacture, the country of origin and other parameters.
The code is based on 17 characters, consisting of numbers and Latin letters. "O", "Q" and "I" do not take part in the code.
It was decided to remove these letters because of the risk of confusion with zero and one.
In addition, a number of other symbols can be made from the letter "I", which also became one of the reasons for its exclusion.
The structure of the VIN code is divided into three components - WMI, VDS and VIS. According to the first part, one can draw a conclusion about the country of origin, in the second - about the characteristics of the vehicle (body type, configuration, model range, and others), and the third part - about the year of manufacture of the car and the serial number.
By the way, the information in the 3rd part is individual and depends on the car model.
In Renault cars, the VIN code can be found in the following places:
- On the surface of the cylinder block;
- Under the passenger front seat mat;
- From the bottom of the arch (near the driver's seat). To see the inscription, you have to open the door.
- On the passenger seat post (between the hinges).
Now let's take a closer look at how the VIN code is decoded for Renault cars.
The first "trinity" of symbols shows the country of the manufacturer. For example, if the VIN starts with VSY or VS5, the car is made in Spain.
Turkey is characterized by the designation VF1, and Madagascar - GA1.
If the country of origin of Renault is Russia, it also has its own code - X7L.
Other symbols speak of the French assembly, namely VF1 and VF2, MTU, VNE, VF6 and VF8.
The following symbol can be used to infer body type. So, all-wheel drive vehicles are marked with the letter V, rear-wheel drive - P, and front-wheel drive cars - T.
Some machines may have different designations. For example, if we are talking about a van, the symbol F will be in the fourth position. If the vehicle has three doors, the letter G is written in this place.
If decoding of other body types is required, here the specification is of two types - new and old.
In the first case, station wagons and hatchbacks, which are distinguished by the presence of three doors, are indicated by the letter A and the number 3. If the car has five doors, the designation is different - 5, 6 and the symbol N.
Sedans of the new type have the numbers 2 or 4 in the VIN, and the pickup truck is indicated by the symbol H.
In older cars, the classification is as follows:
- For a hatchback with three doors - C;
- For three door station wagon - K;
- For 5-door wagon and hatchback - J and B, respectively;
- Minivan - J and so on.
According to the following symbol, conclusions can be drawn on the model range. For example, in Renault Megan cars of the 1st and 2nd generation, the symbols A and M are placed in this position, for Clio 2 and Laguna 2 - B and J, respectively, and Twingo is completely marked with “zero”.
At the sixth and seventh positions, characters are set by which the motor code can be determined.
The eighth character is the country where the plant is located (the place where the car was produced). Only letters are used here. For example, if the car is made at a factory in the USA, the letter Z is put, Turkey - R, Flins (factory in France) - F, Spain - E or V, and so on.
The next sign allows you to find out the type of gearbox. So, "one" and "two" indicate the presence in the car automatic box gears having three or four speed positions.
If the machine is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, the symbols C, D, 4, 5, 8 are indicated.
In 2001, the letters end and the designations in the form of numbers begin. In 2010, letters appear again.
The last group of numbers is a series.
The final designation may look like this - VF14SRAP45XXXXXXX.
Conclusion
As can be seen from the article, Renault is produced in many countries. At the same time, some manufacturers work not only for the domestic market, but also for export.

The history of Renault is, first of all, the history of a man with an unusual fate. It all started on December 24, 1898, when Louis Renault accepted a challenge to drive his A-Class Voiturette up the steep Rue Lepic in Montmartre, Paris.
The history of Renault is, first of all, the history of a man with an unusual fate.
It all started on December 24, 1898, when Louis Renault accepted a challenge to drive his A-Class Voiturette up the steep Rue Lepic in Montmartre, Paris. Through this feat, he received his first 12 commissions. The company continued to grow when Renault began to win auto rallies: Paris-Berlin, Paris-Vienna…
Louis Renault was born into a typical Parisian bourgeois family in February 1877. He was youngest child in the family, besides him, two brothers and two sisters grew up in the house. His father, Alfred, was a successful businessman, and his mother, Louise, was the daughter of wealthy shopkeepers and loved entertainment and the arts. Louis was a spoiled child. 
From an early age, the boy showed an interest in all kinds of mechanical objects and devices, including motors and electricity. The Renault family owned a house in Bilancourt, near Paris. In the garden of this house there was a barn in which young Louis set up his first workshop. Studying was not his favorite pastime, and he was more than happy to complete his undergraduate degree. However, despite the lack of outstanding academic success, the silent teenager possessed two extremely important qualities in order to succeed in life - intuition and hard work.
At the age of 20, Renault brilliantly entered the nascent automotive world. He converted his three-wheeled De Dion-Beauton into a small four-wheeled car, in the design of which Renault added one of his inventions - it would soon push the car to a new level of quality and mark the beginning of a new automotive era. This invention was "direct transmission" - the first gearbox, which instantly depreciated the gears and gear chains used before.
On December 24, 1898, Louis celebrated Christmas with friends. Confident in the success of his invention, he made a bet, stating that his new car will be able to overcome Rue Lepic in Montmartre, which had a slope of 13 degrees. His friends, at first distrustful of this undertaking, were soon forced to believe their own eyes. By accomplishing this feat of its kind, Louis not only won the bet, but received his first 12 orders, along with a cash deposit. This event was the beginning of his dizzying career. A couple of months later, he filed a patent for a gearbox, and soon Renault's invention was accepted by everyone. automobile factories that time.
The history of Renault began with the first car assembled by Louis Renault (Louis Renault) in 1898, a light voiturette (from the French Voiturette - cart, trolley), with a power of only 0.75 hp. This vuaturetette, even at a time when any car was considered a sports equipment, did not draw on an athlete in any way. The Renault brothers did not consider it as such, but they did not fundamentally share the prevailing opinion, according to which the real racing car must be a multi-displacement monster with a power of seventy. In their opinion, a light and maneuverable car and with a relatively small engine must have a speed higher than that of heavy clumsy structures. And by deed they proved the correctness of their philosophy, winning during three years many competitions. However, these were, as a rule, battles of local importance, although they gave a good advertising return. For example, the victory in the Paris-Bordeaux race brought 350 orders. Prior to this, both competitors and the near-racing public were very skeptical of the French, believing that they would not see a big international triumph.
The next car of the brothers, known as "model A" with a De Dion engine with a power of 1.75 hp. on tubular frame turned out to be very successful, and Louis, together with his older brothers, organized the Renault Brothers company (Renault Freres).
As early as 1899, they made and sold 15 "A" models. For his car, Louis designed a gearbox in which the torque is rear wheels passed not chains, but a shaft with cardan joints. This final drive scheme has remained unchanged to this day for rear-wheel drive vehicles. The brothers were fond of car racing, and racing and sports models occupied an important place in their early business.
Since 1900, the company has switched to the production of large and powerful machines. These are AG1 models with elegant and comfortable various bodies"Capuchin", "double-phaeton", "lando", rare for that time closed limousines. 179 cars were produced.

1904 Renault develops its sales network, which now consists of 120 dealers in France and abroad. Production reaches 948 vehicles.
In 1905, the Renault Brothers were among the first to produce taxi cars with a Landaulet body. These vehicles, nicknamed "Brownings" because of their black color and shape, became famous during the First World War, when 600 Parisian Renault taxis were mobilized in the shortest possible time to transfer 5,000 soldiers to the Marne River. By the name of the famous battle, taxis were called "Marne". This car even erected a monument. For the needs of the French army, the company also supplied other equipment, ships, aircraft engines(the first aircraft engine was assembled in 1908). Louis Renault even designed tanks that were quite successful for that time.
In 1906 on Automobile Salon in Berlin, the company introduced its first bus.
The Renault Brothers actively cooperated with Russia in the prewar years. For the Emperor, a "limousine-landole" car was created on a Renault chassis. For the heir to the throne, a Renault Bebe was purchased, a light car, extremely easy to drive and operate.
Renault taxis were purchased and for the new socialist Moscow, Renault equipment and technologies became the basis of the KIM plant, known to us as AZLK.
It is necessary to note the remarkable achievement of 1923 - the first crossing of the Sahara desert of a six-wheeled prototype. Model "Juve 4" with independent front-wheel drive.
1910 Renault employs 3,200 people, including the 25CV type BM.

1925 The diamond symbol becomes the Renault logo, and for the first time is installed on the 40CV, which brings a number of records for driving distance, fuel economy and wins the Monte Carlo race.
1926 From that year, brakes on all four wheels were standard on all Renault cars. Renault NN introduced, reliable and sturdy car. George Estienne chose the Renault NN for his journey through the Sahara Desert in January 1927. Estienne's trip - almost 17,000 km (10,000 miles) - was completed without any mechanical faults.

Under the Renault Logan brand, the car became known in the market of Russia and neighboring countries.
Technical development of Renault Logan began in 1998. The creators set the task to develop a compact family budget car, the price of which would not exceed 5,000 euros. During the development of the car, computer modeling was used, so not a single pre-production sample was created. For the first time Renault Logan - a four-door sedan was presented to the public in 2004. In the same year it was established mass production in Romania.
In a short time, Renault Logan has become the most popular foreign brand in Russia. This is not surprising, because from the very beginning it was developed under the conditions of Russian roads.

In 2010 and 2012, the plant underwent major upgrades, which made it possible to produce over 180,000 vehicles per year. Currently, in addition to Renault Logan, such brands as Sandero, Fluence, Duster, as well as Latitude and large units for Koloes are assembled at the plant. The Renault concern has made efforts not only to modernize production, but also to train personnel.

Today, Renault (Renault) is one of the most famous car brands not only in Europe, but all over the world. The company manufactures and sells over 2.5 million vehicles per year. How did the French automaker appear and achieve such success? You can find out about this on the Renault history page on our website.
The emergence of the Renault brand
The history of the Renault brand begins in 1898. It was then that a young engineer named Louis Renault created the first car in his life, which he called the Voiturette. He developed a 4-wheeler based on a 3-wheeler and equipped it with the first ever gearbox.
The very next year, Louis, along with his brothers Fernand and Marcel, registered a company called the Renault Brothers. The products of the new company quickly became popular, and already in 1905 the authorities of the capital of France placed an order with the brothers - 250 Renault cars were ordered for Paris city taxis.
History of Renault in the post-war years
Like many automakers, during the world wars in the first half of the 20th century, Renault had to produce freight transport. When Europe returned to peaceful life again, the French company resumed work on the production cars. The first post-war model in the history of Renault was the famous Renault 4 CV. The output is compact and relatively inexpensive car entered the market new era when personal transport became available to absolutely everyone.
Renault 4 CV was a truly revolutionary development that turned automotive industry. To make it as accessible as possible allowed the use of the system rear wheel drive, a small but powerful 0.7-liter engine, as well as the rejection of frame structure. The model was produced for 15 years, and during this time it was sold in excess of 1 million.
The 1950s and 1960s in Renault's history were a time of entry into international markets. It was then that the company's factories were opened in Spain, England, South Africa and Japan. Released in the middle of the 20th century, Renault Dauphine became popular in the USA and became the triumphant of the Tour de Corse in 1962, taking all 3 prizes.
The history of the Renault brand would certainly not have been so interesting if another legendary car, the Renault 16, had not been created in 1065. It is this front wheel drive car with torsion independent suspension on all wheels for many years became a model of a family vehicle.
Throughout its history, Renault has also produced commercial vehicles. At various times, real bestsellers were such cars as Estafette, Espace and many others. Also, do not forget about sports achievements. french brand. It was in the second half of the 20th century that she firmly established herself in Formula 1, developing turbocharged engine, capable of accelerating the car to unprecedented at that time 210 kilometers per hour.
Modern history of Renault
The modern history of Renault has been counting down since 1990, when it was transformed into Joint-Stock Company and launched on the market a model that a year later became the European "Car of the Year" and is still among the most sought-after cars in the world - Clio.
Since 1999, the Renault brand has been part of the Group of Companies of the same name, which also operates the Dacia and Renault Samsung Motors brands. Also since 1999, the French automakers have been cooperating with Japanese Nissan. The alliance allows both companies to reduce vehicle development, logistics and other costs.
Today, the Renault-Nissan alliance is the third manufacturer in the world in terms of the number of cars sold.
