Renault Korea has reached a tentative agreement with its labor union on the 2026 wage and collective bargaining agreement (W&CBA). This comes four months after negotiations began on April 27.
According to Renault Korea, management and labor reached an agreement during the 15th round of main negotiations held on the 20th, following 16 hours of intensive discussions. The agreement was made under a shared understanding to overcome the crisis by taking into account the company's current business conditions. With the tentative agreement in place, final confirmation will follow once the union members approve it during an upcoming explanation session.

This explanation session is scheduled for the 26th. Given the nature of an employee general meeting, there is currently a high probability that the agreement will be finalized without major difficulties. This agreement is significant in that it establishes a production base capable of stably supporting the company's ongoing product strategy centered on eco-friendly vehicles.
Meanwhile, Renault Korea is driving its performance this year through a domestic sales strategy focused on HYBE Lead models. Recently, more than three out of every four vehicles sold in the domestic market (approximately 71–79%) have been HYBE Lead models, indicating that a structural shift toward eco-friendly powertrains has taken root. In particular, the high proportion of HYBE Lead models in its flagship 'Grand Koleos' and new 'Filante' is leading performance, so this labor-management agreement is expected to serve as a positive factor in maintaining a stable production and sales system.
