Renault Venezolana

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Renault Venezolana, CA was a Venezuelan automobile manufacturer .

history

In 1956 the sales company Automóvil de Francia CA (AdF) was founded in Venezuela .

The introduction of local assembly was required at the beginning of the 1960s due to the political framework. Therefore, the joint venture CVV ( Constructora Venezolana de Vehículos ) was founded in 1962 , in which Covenal initially held 70%, Renault 15% and AMC 15%. The plant entered into a partnership with General Motors in 1971.

In 1977, AdF was renamed Renault Venezolana, CA.

Three years later, the name of CVV ​​was changed to CAVPR ( CA Venezolana Producción Renault ), with this company now owned 50% each by Grupo Covenal and Renault Venezolana CA.

The CAVPR was renamed Renault Venezolana, CA in 1991 . From 1991 to 1994 Renault was represented by Grupo Mezerhane. In 1998 the representation of the brand was taken over by Sofasa and spun off into its subsidiary Sofaven.

In 1993 Renault sold its subsidiary to Inversiones Cremerca . Other sources indicate that Renault sold its stake in Sofasa to Grupo Santo Domingo in 1994.

The production of automobiles was stopped in 1995 against the background of the poor economic situation and problems of business partners.

At the same time, the company Renault Venezuela, CA was founded , which took over the distribution of this brand in Venezuela. According to another source, it was only with the takeover of Sofaven ( Sociedad de Fabricación y Venta de Automóviles ) in 2004 that this distribution was transferred back to a wholly-owned subsidiary, which has now been renamed Renault Venezuela .

In 2009, Renault Venezuela signed a letter of intent with Great Wall and a Venezuelan consortium to build an automobile plant. At the end of 2012, Renault Venezuela signed another letter of intent. At the same time, a training center was opened in Caracas.

Models

Production in Venezuela began in 1963 with the Renault 8 and was expanded in the following years to include the Renault 10 (1966), the Renault 16 (1967–1978), the Renault 4 (1971–1977) and the Renault 12 (1978–1982) expanded.

The Renault 30 was assembled in Mariara from 1977 to 1982 (or 1983).

In the 1980s and 1990s, the portfolio was expanded to include the Renault 18 , Renault 5 , Fuego , Renault 19 and Renault 21 models.

A total of around 132,000 Renault vehicles were produced between 1963 and 1994.

Rambler vehicles were also produced in 1964.
