Autobauer: Renault will in Frankreich mehr als zehn Milliarden Euro investieren
Renault will in den kommenden fünf Jahren mehr als zehn Milliarden Euro in Frankreich investieren. Der Konzern knüpft die Pläne jedoch an politische und soziale Bedingungen.
French automaker Renault plans to invest more than ten billion euros in its home market of France over the next five years, according to its chief executive Francois Provost. This investment will primarily go towards electric vehicles and more affordable cars, stated Provost on Saturday during an interview with French radio station France Inter.
The investments will only proceed if the social and political environment allows for it. Over the past five years, Renault has already poured 13 billion euros into France to fully transition to electric mobility, explained Provost.
Renault has seen a significant rise in demand for electric cars in France recently. In September, 42 percent of new car registrations were electric vehicles - the highest percentage ever recorded. This surge is fueled by the sharp increase in fuel prices since the start of the Iran war. This development is reflected in Renault's production numbers. "The reality is that we are now producing more vehicles in France at our French factories than before," stated Provost.
Renault is on track to produce 500,000 cars in France by 2025, and the production is expected to increase by at least 25 percent in 2026 thanks to the surge in demand for electric vehicles.
