MOTRIO is an automotive parts brand launched by Renault in 1998,[1] covering both Renault/Dacia vehicles and other brands. In 2003, MOTRIO introduced a network of multi-brand repairers.[2]
Development
[edit]MOTRIO was created in 1998. The brand started in France and Italy, but later expanded to Germany, Spain, and Portugal by 2000.[1] As of 2021, MOTRIO is present in 21 countries with its own network consisting of 2,500 multi-brand workshops spread over 3 continents (Europe, Asia and Africa), and is present in 90 countries with multi-brand product distribution.[3]
In 2005, MOTRIO launched their website. Later that year, MOTRIO introduced Motelio, a management software for car dealers. Since January 2010, Renault was one of the first carmakers to introduce its own tires in France, Portugal, Germany, Turkey, Romania, Spain and Belgium.[4][5] The new product line sold more than a million units in two years.[6]
