A robust group in a fast-changing automotive market
With Renaulution, launched in 2021, Renault Group has strengthened its commercial, technological, and operational foundations. Building on these fundamentals, the Group is launching a new strategic phase with futuREady, designed to sustain performance over time in an increasingly unpredictable automotive market.
With the Renaulution plan, Renault Group has built a clear and complementary brand portfolio and delivered a major product offensive across its brands, with 32 launches in five years, attracting new customers. The Group has accelerated its shift toward hybrid and electric technologies, successfully advancing the energy transition in Europe. The Group shifted from a volume-driven approach to a value-driven strategy, clearly setting itself apart from its European competitors. Since 2021, Renault Group has achieved a healthier and more disciplined go-to-market approach.
These bold choices have driven a strong turnaround in Europe and accelerated momentum across international markets. In an automotive environment that has become more uncertain, more competitive and more volatile, Renault Group's new plan futurREady builds on these successes to prepare the company for a more uncertain context and to deliver sustainable performance over the long term.
