Renault wants to go all-electric in 2030
- The Renault group has just announced that the Renault brand will become 100% electric in Europe in 2030, but that it will continue to offer thermal engines for countries outside Europe. Remember that last year the Renault brand had set a target of 90% electric sales in Europe in 2030. The program is therefore accelerated, and the manufacturer will therefore have to gradually abandon the thermal versions of the Twingo, Clio, Captur, Arkana , Mégane, Scenic, Austral (replacing the Kadjar) and Kangoo. The Koléos, Espace and Talisman will be discontinued in 2022.
- The new generation of 100% electric Renault will arrive between 2022 and 2025. These are the Mégane E-Tech, the R5 E-Tech, the R4 E-Tech and the Alpine models (Mégane, SUV, R5, A110) which will all be electric from 2026.
- Renault wants to produce 400,000 electric cars per year in France, which is a figure higher than the brand's entire French production in 2020 or 2021, which is around 350,000 units annually. Renault will use four of the five platforms developed by the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi group for electric vehicles (see below).
- There remain questions concerning the future of hybrids and plug-in hybrids, the future of light commercial vehicles and the strategy concerning the Dacia and Lada subsidiaries which has not yet been precisely defined.
- It should be noted that the achievement of Renault's objectives of going all-electric in 2030 for Europe and of manufacturing 400,000 electric cars per year in France will depend heavily on demand in Europe for this type of vehicle.
