France's Renault Group will produce military drones with defence technology firm Thales , the companies said on Tuesday, marking a further push by the automaker into defence manufacturing.
Renault will build Thales' Toutatis remotely operated loitering munitions at one of its factories, with production of 1,000 units a month starting as early as next year, and targeting mainly overseas markets. The agreement, announced at the Eurosatory defence fair outside Paris, is the second partnership in defence between the two groups, which are also working together on a military vehicle.
