Earlier this year, Renault Korea's Busan plant underwent a large-scale update of 68 facilities as part of its transition into a future electric vehicle production hub. As a result, the plant is now capable of producing internal combustion, hybrid, and the latest pure electric vehicles on a single mixed production line.
