Renault (pronounced REN-oh) was founded in 1899 by three Renault brothers (Louis, Marcel and Fernand) and their first car was the 1CV (CV is chevaux-vapeur or steam horses).
Several models 2CV, 4CV, 6CV, 10CV, 15CV, 18CV, 22CV, 40CV were then produced. Today, Renault and its subsidiaries have manufacturing in every continent (except Australia).
In India, they have a factory in Chennai (since 2008) and the Duster (from Dacia, Romania) is an absolute hit.
