Together, we have produced over 8 million vehicles, including more than 5 million of the iconic Clio model. Now, with the Clio 6, we are entering a new era. At the Oyak Horse facility, we have produced over 7.5 million engines and 6 million gearboxes. Türkiye has firmly established itself as Renault Group’s third largest market globally. This enduring alliance is a testament to our shared commitment to trust, common goals, and the people who make it a reality.”
