Renault-Sofasa and the Colombian government are exploring a potential US$150 million investment to assemble a new vehicle at the automaker’s Envigado plant. This initiative aims to boost exports to six Latin American countries and strengthen Colombia’s automotive supply chain. The plan, announced on October 20, 2026, establishes a framework for cooperation between the government and Renault-Sofasa to evaluate the industrial project.
The investment is contingent upon a feasibility study, meaning the final decision regarding the new model, production schedule, and destinations remain undecided. The proposed vehicle could be produced at Renault-Sofasa’s 57-year-old plant in Envigado, which has assembled over 1.7 million vehicles to date. If successful, this project could become one of Renault Group’s largest investments in Colombia, with potential benefits including increased exports, stronger domestic production capabilities, and expanded opportunities for Colombian suppliers.
