While in operation, Renault Agriculture had various partnerships with major manufacturers and focussed production on tractors.

After the end of World War I, the Renault company used its experience in armored tanks to devise agricultural vehicles.

[3][5][6] In 1926, Renault introduced the Type PE which was extensively revised compared to its predecessors, incorporating a new engine with reduced consumes and a vertical radiator.

[12] At the time, Le Mans was the third largest Renault's operation in France after Billancourt and Cléon.

[16] In 1950, Renault was the largest tractor manufacturer within France, producing 8,549 units, the 58% of the country's total production.

[22][23] In 1994, Renault Agriculture and Massey Ferguson formed a strategic partnership, as part of which they set up an equally owned joint venture called Groupement International de Mécanique Agricole (GIMA) at a facility located next to Massey's Beauvais factory with the aim of manufacturing transaxles and related components.

[27] In 2000, it purchased a stake in the Indian manufacturer International Tractors (the owner of the Sonalika marque), forming a Sonalika-Renault joint venture.

[30] By 2005, the Renault marque was phased out and all the tractor models produced at Le Mans were badged as Claas.

[32] In 1999, Renault created the subsidiary Auto Châssis International SNC to manage the foundry and parts area of Le Mans.
