France set an objective of 2 million electric and hybrid vehicles produced by 2030
- The French government has announced a production target for carmakers established in the country. The government wishes carmakers produce 2 million battery electric (BEV) and hybrids (HEV and PHEV) vehicles in France in 2030, which represents almost all of the production capacity currently installed in the country for thermal, electric and hybrids vehicles, and the entire production in France, according to Inovev.
- In 2019, France produced 2,181,294 light vehicles (PCs + LUVs), 88% of which were equipped with purely thermal engines (petrol or diesel). In 2020, production plunged to 1,291,095 units, due to the coronavirus crisis and the relocations of Renault Clio, Peugeot 208 and Peugeot 2008 then produced in France, in part or in full. Of this total, 76% of vehicles produced in France were fitted with a thermal engine. In 2021, Inovev forecasts a production of 1,584,302 light vehicles in France, of which 75% are equipped with thermal engines.
- There has therefore a decline in thermal engine vehicles since 2019, but these still represent 75% of the production in France. In a period of nine years (between 2022 and 2030), this figure would have to gradually drop from 75% to 0%, meaning a 8% decrease each year, while between 2020 and 2021, he lost only 1%. It would take an unprecedented acceleration in thermal reduction over the next few years.
- Renault has confirmed a production capacity of 400,000 electric cars at Douai, Toyota a production capacity of 300,000 hybrid cars at Onnaing. A capacity of 1,300,000 additional electric and hybrids vehicles remains to be installed between PSA, Renault and Toyota over the next 9 years.
