Volvo AB is the world\'s 2nd biggest truck maker behind Germany\'s Daimler French carmaker Renault has turned the page on truck manufacturing by selling its remaining stake in Swedish truckmaker Volvo AB for €1.5bn ($2bn) to cut debt and make strategic investments. The French company, which was the leading shareholder with a 6.5 percent equity holding and held 17.2 percent of the Swedish company\'s voting rights, had earlier sold a 14.9 percent stake in the Volvo for €3bn.
Renault had acquired the stake by selling its truck unit to Volvo in 2001. Renault had owned the Saviem and Berliet brands.
The French state, which owns 15.01 percent of Renault, said that 45 percent of the money raised from the latest sale of Volvo shares would be invested in France.
Renault\'s sales plunged by 18 percent in October. The company\'s debt has meanwhile dropped steadily from €8bn in 2008 to about €818m at the end of the first half of 2012.
The news of the sale was well received with Renault shares gaining 1.19 percent to €40.38 on the Paris stock exchange by early afternoon.
The company has said it will also make strategic investments overseas, notably in Russia and China, and focus on top-of-the-range cars and electric vehicles.
Renault-Nissan on Wednesday signed an agreement with state conglomerate Russian Technologies to create a joint venture to allow the auto alliance to gain control of Russia\'s leading carmaker Avtovaz.
By mid-2014, Renault-Nissan will hold 67.13 percent of the new joint venture which is to be called Alliance Rostec Auto BV and which will own 74.5 percent of Avtovaz, the maker of the iconic Russian Lada car.
Back home, Renault wants to step up investment in units producing its top-end models.
Last month, Renault and British manufacturer Caterham announced they would jointly produce a new line of sports cars that would incorporate \"the DNA of the Alpine,\" an iconic Renault model.
Volvo AB is the world\'s number two truck maker behind Germany\'s Daimler, employing some 100,000 people at factories in 20 countries.
Last year Volvo AB posted a net profit €2bn on sales of €34bn.
