The change will highlight Reagroup’s function of selling vehicles, according to the automaker.


The name Reagroup is now used by all REA’s entities in Europe. In France, Renault France Automobiles (RFA) became Reagroup on April 29, 2005. RFA’s 10 regional hubs are also to be renamed shortly.


The change focuses on two objectives: to give all the distribution subsidiaries previously attached to REA the same name, and to build a distinctive image for customers of Reagroup’s business of selling the three brands, Renault, Nissan and Dacia.


The new name will be introduced in each country as the corporate names of the various companies are changed.
