Renault founded the Compagnie Française des Automobiles de Place taxi company in March 1905 . This company purchased 250 vehicles in 1905, 1,000 vehicles in 1906 and another 1,500 vehicles in 1909. There were also two other Paris taxi companies that preferred this model. The vehicles of these three companies were given different license plates, which ended in G 2 (for the taxi company Kermina Métropole ), G 3 and G 7 . Of the 10,000 or so taxis that existed in Paris in 1914, over 80% were of this model.

Taxi de la Marne

At the beginning of the First World War , around 1,300 of these taxis drove French soldiers to the front for the First Battle of the Marne . Hence the name "Taxi de la Marne" comes from.
