00:04Hello, my name is Silvia Dos Santos and I'm in charge of naming at Renault's global marketing department.
00:13Renault is continuing its international offensive with a new concept car called the Renault Bridger Concept.
00:20A name designed for the international market and India in particular.
00:27At Renault, names are always chosen for the emotions they convey and they're often derived from existing words,
00:34like Duster, Austral, Raphael or even Boreal and Filante.
00:38With Bridger, we're expanding our family of names derived from English words.
00:43In fact, built from the English word bridge, to which the identity suffix ER was added,
00:49the name Bridger Concept follows in the footsteps of our Renault Duster name.
00:53It's a name that has resonated internationally since 2010.
00:57A four-generation success story and with already nearly two million vehicles,
01:01carrying the name Renault Duster in Latin America, in Africa, the Middle East and India,
01:07where the very latest generation of Duster has just been launched,
01:10Renault Bridger was a completely natural choice to complete our family of international names.
01:19So the name Bridger Concept carries rich evocations?
01:22The name Bridger is derived from the English word bridge, meaning junction, connection or link.
01:28And it's a common word that is easily understood.
01:32Bridger refers first of all to the robustness of bridges and architectural structures.
01:36It evokes an imagery of solidity and precision.
01:40The name Bridger perfectly embodies the taut lines and strong design of our concept.
01:45The name Bridger also carries the promise of human bonds that can be forged on board or during journeys.
01:51It's a name that fits into our cars for living DNA.
01:56Bridger is a short, dense name, yet it's structured.
01:59It's balanced with its strong consonants B, D, G, R and its final ER syllable further reinforces the character of
02:07this name, placing it in the Duster lineage.
02:13Today we are very proud to welcome a new member to our family of names with Renault Bridger Concept.
02:19A robust, powerful, versatile name and in fact a perfect name to embody our new urban SUV concept car
02:26and thus open a new chapter in our international offensive.
