Renault personenwagens: boeken - historie en modellen

Renault - 100 jaar in Nederland

Al meer dan honderd jaar rijden Renault-auto's over de Nederlandse wegen. De eerste importeur, Thyssens fr. & sr., werd in 1904 in Maastricht aangesteld.
De auteur traceert de geschiedenis aan de hand van talrijke foto's, van de oorspronkelijke importeur in Maastricht tot latere vestigingen in Utrecht, Den Haag en Amsterdam.
Sinds het begin van deze eeuw opereert Renault Nederland N.V. vanuit Schiphol-Rijk. De fabrieksgeschiedenis in Parijs, vanaf de eerste Renault gebouwd door Louis Renault in 1898, wordt ook uitgebreid belicht.

Gedurende de afgelopen eeuw heeft Renault diverse succesvolle modellen op de markt gebracht, waarvan er in Nederland meer dan één miljoen zijn verkocht. Van het legendarische AG-type ('taxi de la Marne') voor 1914 tot latere klassiekers zoals de KZ, NN, Primaquatre, 4CV, Dauphine, R4, R5, R16, R25 en Espace, worden vrijwel alle in Nederland verschenen personenwagentypes uitvoerig besproken en geïllustreerd in dit boek.

Renault sous l'occupation, fabrications forcées & projets secrets

This book explores the history of Renault during the Second World War, marked by the German occupation. Constrained by the Nazis, the factories produced mainly trucks for the German army from 1941, while the manufacture of automobiles was stopped. The Allied bombings on the factories in Le Mans and Billancourt in 1942 further hampered production.

Louis Renault, the founder of the brand, secretly continued his research for future automotive projects despite the occupation. This is how the famous 4 CV was born.
After the Liberation, Renault was nationalized and renamed "Régie Nationale des Usines Renault". Louis Renault was arrested for collaborating with the enemy and died in detention before his trial.

This book delves into the world of Renault through the stories of employees, the board of directors and the Renault family during 1939. It also explores the challenges encountered during the occupation, including the forced production of military vehicles and the firm's secret projects. Unpublished testimonies and photographic documents illustrate this tumultuous period.

Patrick Le Quement - 40 ans de design automobile

Patrick le Quément is one of the major figures in the history of contemporary design. Trained in Great Britain, he started out at Simca in the late 1960s before becoming an influential designer at Ford and Volkswagen and then transforming the image of Renault, where he headed design from 1988 to 2009.
This book tells the story of a man's life, his personality, the different episodes of his career, but also the major changes in his profession that have emerged over the course of his own journey. Through Patrick le Quément's career, we can read the rise of design relaying style, the recognition of the role of the designer in the company.
His example shapes the transformation of a function that must combine management skills and clear-sightedness in creation. Patrick le Quément opens up, talks about his entourage, his admirations, his mistrusts, his enthusiasms, his passion for automobiles.

Using often unpublished iconography, we discover how Renault has changed eras, how this brand has entered modernity through bold and relevant creations, many of which have become icons of European industry.
The future of the automobile industry is outlined in the background, its evolution at the pace of avatars and metamorphoses.
