  "account": "Renault Group intends to invest over €10 billion ($11 billion) in France within the next five years, according to Chief Executive François Provost. This substantial investment will bolster electric vehicle production and help deliver more affordable cars, Provost revealed in an interview with France Inter radio. Over the past five years, the French automaker had already committed €13 billion to France, aiming to reshape its industrial operations for electric vehicles. Provost emphasized that, if the social and political environment permits, the company will again reinvest more than €10 billion over the subsequent five years to further advance electric production and affordability. Electric vehicles accounted for 42% of new car registrations in France in September, a record high, driven by surging fuel prices since the onset of the Iran war. Renault’s French plants are currently churning out more vehicles than before. In 2025, the company produced 500,000 cars in France and anticipates a production boost of at least 25% in 2026, primarily due to heightened electric vehicle manufacturing.",
