james j neiweem Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 We know Volvo has Mack on a short leash in the USA and elseware except maybee Australia. I am wondering what the relationship is between Renault and Volvo. Seems like Renault would have moreindependence than Mack.

kscarbel2 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Renault sold its remaining 6.5 percent stake in Volvo for US$ 1.92 billion in December 2012, an old holding resulting from the failed merger that allowed Volvo to get its hands on Mack.From that point forward, the Renault truck unit belongs entirely to Volvo. And given the direct and near total overlap between the Renault and Volvo truck ranges, and the fact that today's Renault COEs amount to being rebadged Volvos, you can expect Volvo to shut down Renault when the next cyclical downturn arrives. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34328-volvo-renault/#findComment-227920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
