Pierre Beuzit (born 1942) is a French engineer, and was responsible for the design of the Renault Clio in the 1990s.

Early life[edit]

He gained a degree in Physics in 1966 at the École centrale de Lyon, followed by a Masters degree (Diplôme d'études approfondies or DEA) in 1967, and a Docteur d'État (PhD) in Nuclear Physics in 1971 from the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives or CEA).

Renault[edit]

He joined Renault in 1971 as an engineer. In 1972 he joined the Vehicle Synthesis Department. From 1984-92 he was Director of Advanced Projects (Directeur des Avant-projets).

In the 1990s he was responsible (Directeur gamme Clio) for the overall design of the Clio II (B Product Range), which was launched in 1998.[1] The Clio II design lasted until 2012.

From 1998-2005 he was Director of Research (Directeur de la Recherche) at Renault. Although Renault is headquartered at Boulogne-BillancourtinHauts-de-Seine in the west of Paris, the design is carried out at the Centre Technique Renault de Rueil (Rueil Technical Centre, or CTR), also in Hauts-de-Seine.

In September 2006 he retired from Renault.
