Renault and Indomobil partner for success in Indonesia

Carlos Ghosn, Chairman and CEO of Renault, and Jusak Kertowidjojo, President Director, PT Indomobil Sukses International, Tbk, signed a partnership agreement to launch Renault on the Indonesian market.

Renault will lay a strong foundation for future growth by
first introducing Duster, locally assembled in Indonesia by Indomobil. Duster is the spearhead of the Group's international development and an iconic model that will give high visibility to the brand.

Along with Duster, Renault will commercialise the premium Koleos SUV and the status-enhancing Megane R.S. These models will help to build the Renault brand as a distinctive choice in Indonesia with an emphasis on engine performance, premium image and technology.

At the same time, Indomobil will be building up a tailored network to deliver an enriched customer experience, aiming for 45 showrooms by 2016 and increasing thereafter. Indomobil, Nissan's partner in Indonesia since 1981, has helped Nissan to attain market share of 6 per cent to 67,000 units at the end of 2012.

Partnership announcement marks the first step in Renault's development in Indonesia. Starting in 2015, Renault will launch tailor-made products for localised assembly that will cover the heart of the Indonesian market.
