Business segments

Renault’s FY2025 revenue disclosure distinguishes Automotive, Sales Financing and Mobility Services. On that basis, Automotive generated approximately 88.8% of total revenue (€51.4bn of €57.9bn), Sales Financing 11.0% (€6.4bn), and Mobility Services 0.2% (€91m). These percentages are calculated from reported revenue components, not stated as segment shares by Renault.[32]

Automotive revenue includes vehicle goods, sales to partners and services. Sales Financing includes financing-related goods and services, including interest income on financing receivables; the business also finances inventories sold by Automotive to independent dealers.[32][33] Mobility Services is shown as a separate revenue category, but the cited breakdown does not further define its activities.[32] The latest full-year basis available is FY2025; H1 2026 revenue mix was broadly similar, at approximately 88.6% Automotive and 11.4% Sales Financing.[34] [32]

Company history

Louis Renault built and drove his first voiturette in Paris on 24 December 1898. After receiving orders for the car, Louis and his brothers Marcel and Fernand established Renault Frères in 1899; Renault Group also uses 1898 as the date marking the company’s beginnings.[35][36]

The French state nationalised Renault in January 1945, and the postwar 4CV, unveiled in 1946, became its first model to sell more than one million units.[36][37] Renault expanded production abroad with a plant in Valladolid, Spain, in 1953, and later introduced notable models including the Renault 4 in 1961 and Renault 16 in 1965.[38]

Renault’s turbo-powered Formula 1 car debuted in 1977 and recorded its first win in 1979; the Espace, introduced in 1984 after its 1983 unveiling, helped establish the modern European people-carrier segment.[41][42] The Clio launched in 1990, Renault completed its privatisation in 1996, and in 1999 it formed the Renault–Nissan Alliance and agreed to acquire a majority stake in Dacia.[43] [35]
