The modern history of Renault Russia began in 1998, when on the parity basis was set up a joint venture with the Government of Moscow for the commercial and industrial activities. Renault share in the capital of the joint venture gradually has been increasing until it reached 100% in November 2012.

 

In April 2005, the plant was opened in Moscow to work full cycle. Sales of Renault Logan - a first localized in the Russian car brand - launched in July 2005. Today, the plant in Moscow produced Renault Logan (1-e generation), the new Renault Duster, Renault Fluence, and the Nissan Terrano in the framework of partnership in Alyanse Renault -Nissan.

In 2014, at the facilities of the Volga automobile plant began production of a new Renault Logan and New Renault Sandero / Sandero Stepway.

 

Nowadays Renault is one of the most popular and selling automotive brands in Russia, and it takes place in TOP3 foreign brands. In 2014 were sold 194,531 Renault cars, as the market share of which amounted to 7.8%.
