Renault's Brazilian unit will invest 350 million euros ($379.12 million) to produce a new hybrid engine C-SUV car for distribution in Latin America, the French carmaker said on Tuesday.
The model will be produced at the Curitiba Veiculos de Passeio factory, at the Ayrton Senna Industrial Complex in Sao Jose dos Pinhais in the state of Parana in Brazil, which is Renault's second-largest market after France.
Renault plans to invest 3 billion euros by 2027 to launch eight new vehicles and boost electric vehicle (EV) sales outside Europe as part of a global re-launch, it said in October.
