Renault

[edit]

About this: "As Renault does not have any R&D center and have a few factories in Asia, RSM will spearhead the Renault's expansion efforts into the rapidly developing Asian market. Also, it should be noted that Renault is continuing the use of 'Samsung' name until 2020[1] under a license agreement with the Samsung group. It remains to be seen how long Samsung will allow the use of its brand to RSM, and how it will play its remaining 19.9% of shares. However, as the value of Samsung's brand continues to increase, Renault's desire to associate its brand in regions where Renault's brand is weak is considerable: recent events of Renault's attempts at associating itself with GM could be seen in the same context, as Renault does not have any presence in North America since its exit in the 1980s."

Renault wanted to increase its production and sales numbers, and the purchase of Samsung Motors was a good opportunity to get in an highly closed market that consumes considerable numbers every year. Additionally, Samsung used Nissan Motors technology, a company that Renault already controlled. Nissan had/has solid presence in North America and Asia.

The Renault brand is not so weak, because of the rich tradition and long periods of dominant success in F1. Typically they have won F1 races at the end of the year, which are held in Asia. Some of the GP wins came completely unexpected and looked as insurmountable task at the time.

As Renault has a substantial share in Nissan, indirectly they have presence in US and Canada, with the Nissan and Infinity brands. And Renault operates in Mexico. An alliance with GM would allow important savings in development, purchases, platform and others, because of the combined production numbers of GM, Nissan and Renault. The past interest in purchasing GM shares should be looked more in this context.

Wrong.

[edit]

I am not sure about the introduction... Samsung Motors was bought by Renault during the Asian Market Crisis, because it was the president's order. The order was for all company's to keep their best group, and sell the rest. For example, Samsung only kept their electronics group and sold the rest. Therefore, Samsung survived. On the other hand, Kia and Daewoo did not sell their minor groups, and therefore failed in the 21st century. If no one believes me, I will post up links on Korean sites. I will try my best to find some English sites. I wanted to discuss this before I manually make a change in the article. If the change-about-to-be-made is agreed, I will re-edit the article.

Fair use rationale for Image:RenaultSamsung Motors.PNG

Image:RenaultSamsung Motors.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

RHD or LHD only?

[edit]

Does the company produce any RHD cars for Japan and similar markets? 118.209.102.89 (talk) 12:30, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting

[edit]

I partially reverted the new image gallery because it can led to confusion. The cars pictured were indeed sold as "new" on the specified dates, but in Chile. In fact, they are all from a prior generation to that sold in South Korea. The problem is, for an unknown reason, Derco (the local importer of Renault and Renault Samsung cars) sells remaining inventory of the Busan unit with the RSM badge and newer cars with the parent company's badge (Renault). So the car sold as the third-generation SM3 in South Korea is marketed as Renault Fluence in Chile and the third-generation SM5 as Renault Latitude. I hope this clarifies the issue.

Pre-GA comments

[edit]

Lead is too short. Model lineup section has no reference and no lead in sentence. I added another cite request to unreferenced section. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:23, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Brand name

[edit]

What is the former and the actual brand name? I found evidence of being (naturally) Samsung until 2000, that Renault continued the brand name "Samsung" (and not "Renault-Samsung"), but today on their website and in Renault websites, they are announced as Renault Samsung Motors (as brand name). I assume that Renault changed the brand name from Samsung to Renault Samsung in 2002 with the QM3, but I found no evidence for this. In German and French Wikipedia, the models itself in their articles are being listed as "Samsung" (but here are indications that that the French copied the content of the German articles, which were partly falsified), while the EN wikipedia uses "Renault Samsung". Anybody knows? Roxedl (talk) 04:40, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support I was in no rush, but all the company marketing and press material already uses "Renault Korea Motors" exclusively, so there isn't a reason to not move it. --Urbanoc (talk) 01:00, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
