Founded in Boulogne-Billancourt in 1899 by Louis Renault and his brothers, and for most of the twentieth century a state-owned company after its 1945 nationalisation (a status carried over from the Renault family’s collaboration with the German occupation, and not fully unwound until a 1996 privatisation).[1] Today Renault Group also owns Alpine and Dacia, and the French state and Nissan each still hold a stake, a legacy of the alliance the two companies formed in 1999.

Accent colour: Sampled from the fill colour used in the badge's own SVG source (#231F20). The current diamond mark is a monochrome dark-grey/near-black outline; Renault's motorsport livery uses a bright yellow, but no official brand-guideline hex for that yellow was found, so the mark's own colour is recorded instead.
