The history of the French company Renault began in 1899, when three brothers decided to open their workshop. Decade after decades, it began to gain serious momentum, and at the moment, the company occupies a fourth line in the ranking of the largest automakers. The main reason for such success is close cooperation with the Japanese Concern Nissan, and, as a result, the creation of Renault Nissan Holding.

Today, Renault cars are assembled at enterprises that are located in many countries of the planet.
On the territory of Russia, there are also several branches on which French cars produce. Therefore, it is not surprising that the concern has gained great popularity in our country.
The subsidiary of Renault-Russia is responsible for assembling cars in Russia, which has been successfully operating since 1998, and, until recently, was called "Autoframos".
Renault-Russia also includes a large enterprise, which makes cars directly for Russia. Here several models of French cars are produced immediately, which enjoy the greatest demand in the domestic market.
Also Reno is assembled at AvtoVAZ automobile factory, only 25% of products from the total number are made here.

The largest plants where Renault cars produce are:
- romanian branch whose capacities are collecting cars for local and European markets. Frequently often, Romanian "French" can be seen on Russian roads;
- domestic AvtoVAZ and AvtoFramos, thanks to which Russia is considered a major country-producer. Products of these enterprises are supplied to the local market, and to the CIS countries;
- brazilian car factory on which products are collected for the Latin American market;
- indian Automobile Plant, which collects Renault cars for the local market, as well as other Asian countries and Africa.
No one is not surprising for the fact that Renault Logan is the most popular French car in Russia. The whole secret of the success is that domestic motorists for small money can get a beautiful, high-quality car.
The low cost model is explained by the fact that Logan is produced at two Russian factories, where the assembly method is used.
If you touch on the quality of the assembly, it is very difficult to compare two domestic enterprises, because AvtoVAZ produces a model of 2014, and the last modification of Logan is produced on Autoframos.
Anyway, the products of both plants have enough similar disadvantages: insufficient welding density of body parts and a low level of noise insulation.
Where they collect Renault Sandero
Famous French Hatchback Sundero boasts great popularity not only in Europe, but also in Russia.
After the release of the latest version of the model, the demand for cars has grown significantly, therefore, it was decided to collect a car on domestic facilities.
At the moment, Serial production of Renault Sandero has been established only on Autoframos, however, due to the high productivity of the enterprise, the automotive market does not feel the deficit of French hatchback.
Where they collect Renault Duster
Photo: Assembling Duster in Romania According to experts, at the moment, Renault Duster is among the top three crossovers in the global market. Therefore, it is not surprising that the car is incredibly in great demand among domestic motorists.
Renault Duster is the only model of the French company that is collected on all branches.
For the Russian market, the crossover is made at the Moscow Autoframos, from where the products are supplied to the local market and to the CIS countries. It is worth noting that the productivity of this enterprise is 150,000 cars per year.
Where they collect Renault Megan
Probably there are no such motorists who have never heard about the model Megan. For the first time, the car was represented by General Review in 1996, and since that time there were 3 modifications of the car.
Renault Megan's first generation was going exclusively at France enterprises. The second generation, which debuted in 2002, was collected in 3 countries, including Turkey, Spain, and, of course, France.
Third generations Megan, albeit with small breaks, still produced at the Moscow Auto-Frames Plant.
Where they collect Renault Flyens
For the first time, the automobile world saw Flyuens in 2009. Already in 2010, the model appeared in the domestic market, after it began to collect Renault on the Moscow branch.
Due to the low productivity of domestic workshops, Renault Flyuens also deliver from Turkey and South Korea.

Output
Renault cars have high demand in Russia, therefore, most of the company models are collected in domestic enterprises, which makes their price very attractive and competitive.
Currently, there is not only simple products in Russia in Russia, but also technically complex products. As an example, you can bring the Renault-Russia automotive production plant, where cars of the brand of the same name - models of fluence, Logan and many others are collected.
Brand history
Production of automotive brand products Renault originates from the end of the nineteenth century. Started in France from scratch case has grown to global scale. Now Renault on the release and implementation of its cars ranks fourth in the world. Such heights, the company was able to achieve, uniting with another, no less well-known Giant Nissan.
As you know, many of the responsible nodes in Renault cars are released under the auspices of Nissan. For example, collecting a model of fluence at the factory, a variator gearbox Nissan is automatically installed on it.
Such mutually beneficial cooperation allows the company to develop very quickly, and now cars under the Renault brand are collected in many countries.
History in Russia
The exception has not been Russia. Assembling Flyuens began in 2009 abroad, in Turkey, at the Oak-Renault factory, but at present the production of this model for the Russian market is stationed in Moscow, and until 2014 there was a name "Autoframos". Now this company is already known under a different legal name and called Renault-Russia.
Visually to distinguish the Turkish and domestic assembly is impossible for the simple reason that there are no external differences. However, in technical terms there are several provisions on which foreign and domestic cars differ.
The magnitude of the clearance of the Turkish model is only 12 cm, while the Russian assembly model can boast 16-mm.
This is done with the calculation of our road conditions. For the same reason, you can find differences in the suspension settings, which in the fluuens of the Russian assembly more energy-intensive and without prejudice it works all the defects of the road surface. From reviews of the owners, you can find out that the quality of Turkish plastic in the cabin is better, but it is not officially confirmed, so it is impossible to treat complete confidence in such applications.
The scale of production capacity is impressive. Not so long ago, a hundred thousand SUV Duster came down from the conveyor. Flyuens is also a popular model among the Russian consumer. The number of products of the models of all names almost reaches two hundred thousand units per year, and the total piece expression of the assembled cars has already exceeded one million.
Not everyone knows that the production of fluuens and other models is deployed not only in Moscow.
Reno brand cars are also collected at Auto-VAZ enterprise. This became possible thanks to the acquisition by Renault 26% of the Avto-VAZ stock package.
Since the car is a source of increased danger, the Company's management of the company applies special requirements for the quality of assembling its products. The plant constantly conducts mechanical tests for strength, electronic equipment testing, which make it possible to understand auto-product compliance with all quality and safety requirements.
The class of all models manufactured, including fluuens - budget, so many stages of production are based on manual work, unlike a premium class vehicle, the assembly of which is completely trusted by robots.
Production has its own interesting feature. It is known that in the process of assembly, starting from the initial stage, the billet, which in the future should become a full-fledged car capable of movement, overcomes a considerable distance by visiting different shops. All this time, next to the car there is a small container in which many different parts are placed intended for this car.
So collect fluences and other models. This method is designed to save the time of workers and, accordingly, increase the volume of products.
Summarize
Some people with distrust relate to automotive products produced in Russia. For this - model AvtoVAZ, which do not always show themselves from the best side. However, Renault, despite the Russian roots, still meets all the standards of quality and proof of this - popularity among taxi services, for which the main criterion is a decent car resource.
A two-door concept car under the Renault Flunce brand was first demonstrated in June 2004 in the English festival "Louis Vuitton Classic", after another three months the car developed in the designer Atelpatrick Le Kedan was shown at the international auto show in Paris. It is curious that in the serial production Concept as well in 2008, but called Renault Laguna Coupe.
In parallel, the international team of Renault concern engineers finished work on a spacious 5-seater 4-door compact sedan.
Where do Renault cars for Russia and other countries
It is this model that received a serial name. Renault Fluence, which means "smooth, confidently moving in a dense stream." Release car Renault Flyuens began in 2009 on the basis of the Turkish subsidiary of Oyak-Renault in the city of Bursa (Bursa) and the Korean division of Renault Samsung Motors in Busan. Moreover, the model is sold under the name Samsung SM3 II, and the first generation of Samsung SM3 I on the European market was sold under the brand Nissan Almera Classic. Slightly modified, equipped with super-modern radio communications and video surveillance systems, Korean fluence - Samsung SM3 II PATROL CAR5 with a 1.6-liter 16-valve 110-strong gasoline engine and a 5-speed mechanical transmission was the official car of the South Korean police. IN 2010 year production Renault Flyuens began on the Russian Moscow-Plant Autoframos.
After several years of sluggish sales of Renault Megane II in the European market, in the concern Renault It was decided to suspend the development of the successor Renault Megane III and replacing the model aesthetically completely excellent. Before the project team, the task was set to create a car, intended primarily for the markets of developing countries, combining the affordable price and the latest achievements of the automotive industry. As a result, in 2009, a new car Renault fluence was presented at the Frankfurt International Auto Show, delivered to the platform with as Megane II, having an enlarged wheel base from Megane Estate III and trimmed inside as Nissan Sentra and Megane III, but with traditional, Instead of digital, dashboard show meters.
Confusion with predecessors-clones-clones Renault Fluens arises in connection with the Global Unification Global Unification Strategy practitioned by the French Automobile Concern. From a technical point of view Renault Fluens was built on the basis of the automotive platform used in the production of front-wheel drive, compact segment cars "C" - Renault-Nissan C and in terms of chassis / chassis almost completely repeats Renault Megane II. External renofluhens Overview instantly reveals the "Solonka team" from the design elements and technological solutions Megan II / III and the Japanese compactment Nissan Sentra.
The Model Flunce line has two modifications. Electrocar Renault Fluence Z.e. It was presented simultaneously with the basic model in Frankfurt in 2009. Environmentally friendly car Flyuens - triumph of the French concern. He became the first commercially successful electric car. On Green Renault Fluence, the price ranges from € 17500 to € 27500, depending on the configuration and pre-installed lithium-ion battery.
Like many other families, Renault Flyuens has a sports version with all relying approximations - lining, spoilers, diffusers in the rear bumper, deep sports bucket seats, 17-inch hefty discs, shiny, chromed elements of the body and interior trim elements. The sporty option is equipped with a 1.5-liter DCI903 diesel engine. Modification was demonstrated on various world autos, but never came to free sale.
In some markets (China, Persian Bay, Latin America) produced Renault Fluence, which differs from the original version of the "muzzle", which is copying the Restyled model of CLIO Campus.
At the time of appearance on the market, the Renault fluence machine was equipped with an order of magnitude higher than all cars of a similar class. The owner received a unique contactless map of launch and access, a super-modern multimedia system with a wireless connection and a digital connector. Audio systems similar to 3D Sound Byarkamys with Plug & Music feature cannot yet boast many representatives of elite car families.
In 2012, Renault Flyuens conducted facelifting. The updated sedan received xenon headlamps, a referred "face", another form of bumpers and radiator grille. Salon Renault Fluence "went up" at the expense of new, very spectacular finishing materials and a slightly recycled torpedo with an electronic digital speedometer. Instead of the usual "handler", resting Renault Fluence has acquired an automatic parking brake.
Renault fluence complete sets offer eight standard assembly options. The basic "naked" equipment Authentique is equipped with only a 106-strong 1.6-liter gasoline engine bundled with a 5-speed "mechanics". More expensive complete sets of Fluence Confort and Expression are assumed to choose a 1.6-liter or 2.0-liter motor and a 6-step clinorem variator CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The most expensive assembly of Dynamique has a cruise control, parking sensors, AFU emergency braking system with EBD electronic distributor.
The price of Reno Fluence, depending on the configuration, starts with the amount of about 625 thousand rubles for the minimum assembly of Authentique. On Reno Fluence price in the Confort version - from 663.5 thousand rubles. The cost of Reno Fluence in the EXPRESSION package is at least 670 thousand rubles. The maximum assembly of Dynamique costs from 776.5 thousand rubles and higher.
The times when the vehicle was considered luxury, and at the disposal of motorists there were only a few domestic cars, remained in the past.
The modern automotive market offers dozens of different brands, including foreign manufacturers. One of them is Renault.
This brand has deserved popularity in the CIS countries, thanks to reliability, solid appearance and a low price.
With the emergence of factories in Russia, Renault cars have become even more accessible to domestic car owners.
Where are such cars? What plants are today working in Russia? How to determine the manufacturer's country on wines (VIN) -Kod? These questions require detailed consideration.
General information about Renault
Renault Group is a famous French corporation that sells its cars in more than 200 countries around the world.
Renault headquarters is located in Boulogne Biyangkur, located near Paris.
"Renault Group" controls several branches at once - Nissan Motors and Renault Samsung Motors, and also owns Dacia shares (Romania), Volvo, AvtoVAZ and other companies.
In addition to the main activity, Renault is released by motors for different manufacturers, including for some Mercedes-Benz models.
In Russia, the cars of this brand appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. So, in 1916 the activities of Russian Renault JSC, which includes two plants located on the territory of Rybinsk and Petrograd.
The main activity was the release of tractors, cars and airplanes.
After the revolution, the work of the factories was discontinued due to nationalization, and the work resumed only in the 60-70s. It was at that time that official representation was opened and many agreements were concluded.
In the early 1990s, offices appeared in Moscow, and in July 1998, a strategic agreement on the opening of the Autoframos company was issued. After a year, the first workshop on the assembly of Magan models began to work, and then simol.
Since 2005, a full cycle of car production has been launched, and after a year, Renault is recognized as the most sold in Russia.
By 2012, Renault's share in Autoframos reached 100%, and in 2014 the name changed - it was transformed into Renault Russia CJSC.
Renault hatchbacks are available in Russia since 2009 (test assembly), and a full-fledged release has started in a year. In 2010, about 160 thousand cars were released. A year later, the Renault Duster is established.
Special attention deserves the history of Renault and AvtoVAZ. In 2008, Renault acquired a quarter of all shares of the company, and in 2014 the number of securities in the hands of the French exceeded 50%.
A similar rapprochement is caused by the desire to revive the domestic auto industry, increase its competitiveness on the inner and world arena.
To speak as a whole on Renault producers, you can allocate several main plants:
- Romania. Here are produced mainly for Europe, although, some part falls into the territory of Russia.
- Brazil is one of the largest producers producers Renault. The only thing in the Russian Federation is Brazilian versions of cars do not reach.
- India. Here, production is focused more on the domestic market, African and Asian countries.
- Russia. On the territory of the Russian Federation, Reno Marks are produced under Moscow and AvtoVAZ.
In which countries, and where they collect Renault Logan, are there plants in Russia?
The Renault Logan model is a widely known car, which has been popular, due to an affordable price, European appearance and comparative unpretentiousness in service.
Most of the cars of this brand are made on the territory of Romania at the Dacia plant, which since 1999 is owned by Renault.
On the territory of the Russian Federation, the first generation of the car was produced for ten years, from 2005 to 2015 at the Autoframos plant. In 2014, production was launched on AvtoVAZ, where the release of the second generation of the car started.
In addition to Russia and Romania, Renault Logan is available on the territory of India, but the machine is almost not going to export. This manufacturer is largely oriented to internal needs.
If we speak in the quality of the assembly, and compare it at various plants, this question is still open and there is no one-minded opinion.
More often there is a car released near Moscow, because the production is better there better, and the assembly itself is large.
Already ready-made nodes and panels come to the plant, so the workers remain to collect everything into one mechanism and paint the body.
Despite the difference in the approaches of production, problems in both cases are identical - violets, uneven clearances, and corrosion metal exposure and other. By the way, the disadvantages considered are not on all cars Logan.
Renault Sandero, as well as a Stepway model
The Renault Sandero model refers to the subcompact hatchback category, which is based on the Logan chassis.
The main differences from the "predecessor" is more modern appearance and increased reliability.
The first models of the model appeared in 2005, and the total production started only by the end of 2007.
In the same year, Brazil was made by the manufacturer in the manufacturer, and a year after it - Argentina.
In Europe, the premiere of Dacia Sandero took place in the spring of 2008, in Geneva. In the same year, mass production was launched on the territory of Romania, and a year later - in South Africa.
Since 2009, the car has appeared in the CIS countries. At first in Ukraine, then in Belarus.
The release of cars in the territory of the Russian Federation has been established since 2009, at the Renault plant (until 2014 was called autoframos), and the first sales in Russia started only from the spring of 2010.
In 2010, the European market saw the off-road version of Renault Sundero with the "additive".
This vehicle has an increased ground clearance (19.5 cm without load) and more powerful elements of the chassis.
In addition, the change and appearance of the vehicle was changed - the form of bumpers was changed, plastic thresholds were installed, powerful wheeled arches and roof rails appeared.
If we proceed from the equipment, here the equipment is something average between Expression and Prestige.
The release of the car in Russia has started on the year of appearance at the Autoframos plant, near Moscow.
Renault Duster
On the territory of Russia, Duster is going to all there - near Moscow, at the Renault Russia factory.
Every year produces from 150 thousand cars, which completely covers the needs of the domestic market. A certain volume of vehicles is supplied and in the near abroad.
Renault Captures
Another model, worthy of attention - which can be attributed to new products. This is a small crossover, which is based on Renault Klio of the 4th generation.
For the first time the car was presented in Geneva, in 2013. The beginning of the release in Spain is on the same year.
In the spring of 2016, a new version of Renault Caps, characterized by large clearance and elevated body sizes was presented. It is based on a well-known Duster.
The machine is equipped with two types of motors (by 1.6 and 2.0 liters), MCPP, automatic transmission or. Sales of the new model began with the summer of 2016.
Renault charts on two plants - Renault and AvtoVAZ (including a new model).
Thanks to the similarity with Duster cars, it was not necessary to change the production process.
In 2016, at the Renault plant near Moscow, about 15,000 Renault Captur cars were released, but the available reserves are sufficient to increase production to 18-20 thousand cars annually.
Renault Megan
Renault Megane cars are considered among the oldest representatives of the French brand. The car appeared in 1996 and replaced the procedure for the outdated Renault 19.
For 22 years of release, MEGANE "survived" three restyling, practically completely changed his appearance.
Over the years, the car was produced in the following countries (only some are given):
- France. The first generation of Megane was made exclusively in the territory of the "native" plant. At the same time, the machines for the Russian Federation were collected in the northern part of France, at the DEU factory.
- Spain (Palencia). The first and second generation machines were produced here.
- Turkey. The Oak-Renault plant was made by the 2nd and 3rd generation sedans.
- Russia. On the territory of the Russian Federation, Renault Megan 3rd generation was produced 2012-2013, and since 2014, the production of restyled version under Moscow was launched.
Renault Fluence
Renault Fluence (Renault Fluence) is a compact car, which in 2009 came to replace Megan's already obsolete.
Here the platform of several cars is used - Nissan C, as well as two models of Renault - Scenic and Megan.
Sales of the first machines started in the spring of 2010, first with a 1.6 liter motor, and then a 2.0-liter engine. A diesel engine has been added to the main range.
In the Russian market, the car appeared in 2010. It was then that the vehicle production at the Autoframos plant was established (today Renault-Russia).
Simultaneously with the Russian assembly machines on the territory of the Russian Federation there were cars from another producer country - Turkey, and in 2013 the assembly started in South Korea.
How to determine the manufacturer's country in a VIN code?
Wine code is 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 manufacturer and other parameters.
The codes are based on 17 characters consisting of numbers and Latin letters. The code does not take part "o", "q" and "i".
These letters are decided to remove due to the risk of confusion with zero and unit.
In addition, the letter "I" can make a number of other characters, which also became one of the reasons for its exception.
The structure of the VIN code is divided into three components - WMI, VDS and VIS. In the first part, it is possible to conclude about the manufacturer's country, in the second - on the characteristics of the vehicle (body type, configuration, model range, and others), and the third part is the year of the production of the machine and the serial number.
By the way, information in the 3rd parts is individual and depends on the car model.
In the machines of the Renault VIN code can be found in the following places:
- On the surface of the cylinder block;
- Under the rug of passenger front seat;
- Bottom Arch (near the driver's seat). To see the inscription, you have to open the doors.
- On the rack of the passenger seat (between loops).
Let us now consider in more detail how the wine code is decrypted for Renault brand machines.
The first "Trinity" of the characters shows the country of manufacturer. For example, if the VIN code begins with VSY or VS5, the machine is made in Spain.
For Turkey, the designation VF1 is characteristic, and for Madagascar - GA1.
If the Renault Country is Russia, there is also its own code - x7l.
Other characters talk about French assembly, namely VF1 and VF2, MTU, VNE, VF6 and VF8.
According to the next character, you can make an output by type of body. Thus, all-wheel drive machines are marked by indicating the letter V, rear-wheel drive - p, and the machines with the front-wheel drive - T.
In some machines, the designations may vary. For example, if we are talking about a van, the fourth position will be the symbol F. If the vehicle has three doors, the letter G is prescribed at this place.
If there is a decoding of the remaining types of body, here the specification is two types - new and old.
In the first case, universals and hatchbacks, characterized by the presence of three doors, are denoted by the letter A and the number 3. If there are five doors in the machine, the designation is different - 5, 6 and symbol N.
New type sedans have in VIN-COD 2 or 4, and the pickup is indicated by the H symbol.
In old machines, the classification is as follows:
- For hatchback with three doors - C;
- For three door wagons - k;
- For 5-door wagons and hatchback - j and b, respectively;
- Minivan - j and so on.
According to the next character, you can draw conclusions on the model range. For example, in Renault 1st and 2nd generation cars, symbols a and m are put in this position, for Klio 2 and Laguna 2 - B and J, respectively, and tween is marked with "zero".
On the sixth and seventh item, the characters are installed by which you can define the motor code.
The eighth sign is a country where the plant is located (the place where the car is produced). Only letters apply here. For example, if the machine is made at the plant in the United States, the letter Z is set, Turkey - R, Flins (plant in France) - F, Spain - E or V and so on.
The following sign allows you to find out the gearbox type. So, the "unit" and "deuce" indicate the presence in the automatic transmission machine, having three or four speed positions.
If the machine is equipped with a manual transmission with five steps, the C, D, 4, 5, 8 characters are indicated.
In 2001, the letters end and symbols begin in the form of numbers. In 2010, letters appear again.
The last group of numbers is a series.
The final designation may have the following form - VF14SRAP45XXXXXXX.
Output
As can be seen from the article, Renault is produced in many countries. At the same time, some manufacturers work not only on the domestic market, but also for export.
