The 1.54% interest was sold at €69.50 per share in a placement to investors by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process.
"The proceeds of this sale will allow the Renault Group to accelerate the financial deleveraging of its Automotive activity," it said.
Renault added that its industrial partnership with Daimler remains unchanged and is not impacted by the stake sale.
