Renault commits itself to produce more in France
- Renault is committed to the unions to produce more in France. The carmaker plans to rise the production in France from less than 550,000 vehicles (2012 production) to more than 700,000 vehicles in 2016, ending a decline in production in the country for a decade.
- In order to reach these figures, Renault plans to produce 80,000 vehicles more (probably Trafic, Primastar and Vivaro) at Sandouville plant , and the future Space (2014), the Scenic (2015) and the Laguna (2016) at Douai plant.
- In addition, if the success of Zoe materializes, the Flins site, which will continue to assemble the high-end range versions of the Clio IV, should significantly increase its production volume.
- The location of the future Kangoo (2015) in Maubeuge is confirmed. The location of the Master in Batilly is even confirmed for a minimum of 12 years (until 2025).
- There is no announcement of a Nissan car transfer to a Renault plant. Nissan's future compact car production (80 000 vehicles yearly) has been assigned to the Barcelona plant. There is no announcement either of a Daimler car transfer to a Renault plant. Neither a real Renault-Nissan based electric cluster is created in France The increase in production in France will therefore be the result of new model launch
