Renault S.A. is a French vehicle manufacturer producing cars, vans, buses, tractors, and trucks. The company is well known for numerous revolutionary designs, security technologies and motor racing.
When its cars were exported to the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, the name was commonly mispronounced as “ren-alt” to and by the American public, and the Americanised pronunciation continues in common usage, though the original French has gained significant ground over recent years. In the United Kingdom it is pronounced “ren-o” though the French pronunciation is closer to “ruh-no”.
