Revoz operates Renault Group’s plant at Novo Mesto in southeast Slovenia, and it is the country’s only car factory. The site traces back to IMV, a Slovenian manufacturer that had been building vehicles there since 1959 and assembling Renaults under licence from 1972. Renault and IMV formed Revoz as a joint venture in 1988, Renault took a controlling stake in 1991, and by 2004 the plant was wholly owned by the French group.
The factory covers 584,000 square metres and runs its own press shop, body shop, paint shop and assembly lines. Output peaked at 212,680 cars in 2010, and the plant built 141,670 in 2020, when it employed 2,408 people. Its role inside Renault Group has always been small cars: Novo Mesto has built the Clio through several generations, and more recently the Twingo E-Tech and the Mitsubishi Colt, a rebadged Clio produced under the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance.
From 2026 the plant adds the second-generation Dacia Spring. That is a relocation rather than an addition: the first-generation Spring was a rebadged Renault City K-ZE assembled in Hubei, China, and moving the new car to Slovenia puts Dacia’s cheapest electric model inside the European Union. The new Spring sits on Renault Group’s RG-EV small platform, the architecture Novo Mesto already builds the Twingo E-Tech on.
