- Renault is considering a joint venture with Dongfeng Motor to produce cars in China.

- The two partners would invest about 6.5 billion yuan (800 million euros) in the construction of a plant with a capacity of 200,000 vehicles per year in the central province of Hubei.

- The joint venture could use the license which had been granted to Renault when the company had briefly produced vehicles (Traffic) with a Chinese partner in the mid-1990s.

- The first model produced by Renault and Dongfeng Motor in China could be the SUV Koleos (designed by Samsung), whose 22,417 units were sold last year in the country under the Renault brand name (best sales of Renault in China).

- The Renault models which should be manufactured in China  after Koleos are also designed by Samsung (SM3, SM5, SM7).
