In Yvelines, a Chapter in Automotive History Closes ‌This Friday

In Yvelines, a chapter in automotive history⁣ closes this Friday, ‌March 29, at the Renault Flins plant. In the afternoon, the ⁣last car,⁣ a Zoe, will ⁢roll off the production lines at the historic site of ‍the diamond brand.

Renault, which launched in 1952 and once employed 21,000 people in the 1970s, will have produced 19 ​million cars from the Flins plant. The first models produced there, such as the JuvaQuatre, ​Frégate, and 4 CV, bear little resemblance to⁣ the ⁤vehicles in circulation today.

The site is⁤ now destined for the shared economy, according to the wishes of Renault’s general manager, Luca de Meo. The decision he made in ​2020 when he arrived, ‌to “save Flins.”
