Renault

The Renault story commenced with the production of automobiles in 1898, although explorations into tractor technology began as early as 1910. The outbreak of the First World War spurred Renault to develop a pioneering light tank for the French military, a design that subsequently informed their initial production tractor. Following World War Two, tractors rose to prominence within the company's portfolio, largely driven by governmental mandates to revitalize the agricultural sector. In 2004, Claas completed the acquisition of Renault Agriculture, marking the discontinuation of the Renault brand in this field.
