Renault Samsung Motors Corp. will partner with Lynk & Co. to develop an environment-friendly vehicle in the Korean market and develop a Renault-brand hybrid passenger car for sale in China.

From January to July, Renault Samsung's sales plunged 13 percent to 66,959 vehicles from 76,588 units last year.
