  • Es Renault a Évolué Au Cours Du Temps, Tout Ceci De Façon Succincte Et, Dès Lors, Forcément Approximative
    INTRODUCTION Les articles sur le Ping en entreprise sont habituellement présentés en deux parties : l’une consacrée à l’entreprise support du sport corpo et l’autre à notre discipline, retraçant le passé et le présent du club pongiste qui lui est associée. Avec Renault qui se situe dans le top 10 des entreprises françaises, que ce soit par le chiffre d’affaires ou par les effectifs, aussi par son histoire des plus mouvementée tout au long du 20ème siècle, le bulletin en entier n’y suffirait pas, avec le risque d’écraser ce qui constitue notre propos : parler avant tout du tennis de table en entreprise et surtout faire œuvre de neutralité pour préserver le sport de toute injonction philosophique, politique ou religieuse. Je propose donc d’occulter tout ce qui a constitué des faits de société pour s’en tenir à ce que l’entreprise Renault, par ses employés et dirigeants , a laissé de grandiose à l’histoire industrielle de notre pays et comment l’entreprise créée par les frères Renault a évolué au cours du temps, tout ceci de façon succincte et, dès lors, forcément approximative.. L’ENTREPRISE L’île SEGUIN appelée Billancourt ou le « Paquebot », siège historique de l’usine Louis RENAULT, a été acquise en 1929 et a fermé ses portes le 31 mars 1992, après 70 années de loyaux services et de dur labeur. Il a donc existé une autre adresse durant les 30 premières années, rue Emile Zola, toujours à Boulogne-Billancourt. La dernière voiture produite y fut la Renault Super 5. Le paquebot abrite désormais, à sa proue, la Seine musicale du conseil Général des Hauts-de-Seine.

Several Indian automobile manufacturers such as Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra and Mahindra, expanded their domestic and international operations. India's robust economic growth led to the further expansion of its domestic automobile market which attracted significant India-specific investment by multinational automobile manufacturers.[4] In February 2009, monthly sales of passenger cars in India exceeded 100,000 units.[5] Embryonic automotive industry emerged in India in the 1940s. Following the independence, in 1947, the Government of India and the private sector launched efforts to create an automotive component manufacturing industry to supply to the automobile industry. However, the growth was relatively slow in the 1950s and 1960s due to nationalisation and the license raj which hampered the Indian private sector. After 1970, the automotive industry started to grow, but the growth was mainly driven by tractors, commercial vehicles and scooters. Cars were still a major luxury. Japanese manufacturers entered the Indian market ultimately leading to the establishment of Maruti Udyog.
