Historical Information

The Renault Type AG, more widely known as the “Paris Taxi”, was introduced for production in France in 1905 and quickly became an iconic urban vehicle of the French capital. Its greatest fame came from its use during World War I, particularly in the Battle of the Marne in 1914. About 600 of these vehicles were requisitioned and used to rapidly transport over 6,000 French soldiers to the front, which significantly impacted the outcome of the clash. The Type AG was thus not only a symbol of Parisian lifestyle, but also a hero in one of the most famous episodes of the Great War.
