The PRV story begins in 1966 when Peugeot and Renault entered a cooperative agreement to manufacture common components. The first joint subsidiary, La Fran?aise de M?chanique (also called Compagnie Fran?aise de M?chanique or simply FM) was launched in 1969. The FM factory was built in Douvrin near Lens in northern France. The PRV engines are sometimes referred to as Douvrin engines.
In 1971, Volvo joined Peugeot and Renault in the creation of the PRV company, a PLC in which each of the three manufacturers owned an equal portion. The company originally planned to build V8 engines, although these were later scrapped in favor of a smaller and more fuel efficient V6. The 1973 energy crisis and taxes levied against engines of displacement greater than 2.8 L made large V8 engines somewhat undesirable and expanded the market for smaller engines. Additionally, Renault needed a V6 engine to fit in its new model, the 30 TS.
Machinery for assembling the engines arrived at Douvrin in early June of 1973 and buildings for producing the engines were finished in January of 1974. The first PRV engines were officially introduced on October 3, 1974 in the Volvo 264. Adoption was swift, and the PRV V6 had been sold in at least five different models by the end of 1975.
