Renault plant in Flins to cease production of cars in 2024
- Inaugurated in 1952, for the production of the Frégate sedan, the Renault plant in Flins (France), which today manufactures the Zoé, will cease the assembly of vehicles in 2024, when it will be transformed into a plant dedicated to the “circular economy of mobility”.
- According to the management of the carmaker, this plant will bring together all the activities to extend the lifetime of vehicles and their uses. It will include a department for the reconditioning of used vehicles, another for the adaptation of thermal vehicles to other energies, another for the repair of vehicle fleets and new mobility.
- If these projects remain rather vague in their implementation, the carmaker has indicated that the transformation of the Flins plant would lead to the end of the production of the Renault Zoé in 2024 on this plant and its transfer to the Douai plant, which will have become at that time the industrial cluster of the brand's electric vehicles, with the arrival of SUVs in B, C and D segments between 2021 and 2023, and the end of the Scenic and Talisman by this time.
- With the growth in demand for electric cars in Europe, the production volume of the Renault Zoe increased significantly in 2020 compared to 2019, as it will have reached nearly 100,000 units over the year as a whole, against 64,000 in 2019 and 50,000 in 2018. According to the carmaker, the Zoe should soon reach 120,000 annual units. The Clio has not been produced in Flins since 2019. As for the Micra, it should leave the Flinsplant before 2024 and be transferred to another Renault-Nissan group site or even stopped. In 2019, the Flinsplant produced a total of 165,000 cars.
