The Renault plant in Valladolid reaches 34 million engines manufactured
Renault started engine production in 1966 in Valladolid with the C engines, which have been followed by 11 other engine families that have equipped hundreds of models of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance.
Thanks to the ‘Renaulution’ strategic plan, the Renault factories in Spain have become the Renault Group’s hybrid pole. Specifically, the Valladolid Engine factory was awarded a family of hybrid engines, of which to date it has manufactured more than 20,000 units, thus introducing the factory into the era of electrification.
Things have changed a lot since that distant 1966. From those robust four-cylinder engines that powered legendary cars like the Renault 4, the Valladolid plant has gone on to build electrified engines, adapting to changing times.
