Building on the Renaulution’s momentum and strong fundamentals, this roadmap shows how the Group intends to transform a success story into a success system.  To do so, the Group will focus on product, advanced technological roadmaps, operational excellence and stakeholder engagement. The plan is about sustainable growth, across all segments and all markets where Renault Group operates.

  • To deliver sustainable performance, futuREady focuses on four clear priorities: growth, tech, resilience and trust.
  • It is built on a growth roadmap driven by a strong product offensive in Europe and across international markets.

  • The ambition is to become the European automotive reference with global reach.

Opening a new chapter

Over the past few years, Renault Group has undergone a profound transformation. Launched in 2021, the Renaulution plan repositioned the company among Europe’s most competitive carmakers, strengthening its brands, improving profitability and delivering a very dynamic product line-up. Before the Renaulution, Renault Group was fragile, but the market was supportive. Today, Renault Group is solid, but the market itself has become more fragile.

“FutuREady builds on the foundation laid by Renaulution, transforming our success story into a success system. Our industry is entering a tougher, faster and more unpredictable cycle. We have proven we can win. Now we must prove we can last.”

The context has evolved dramatically. FutuREady responds to this new reality with a clear ambition: to become the European automotive reference with global reach, combining strong European roots with targeted expansion in key international markets.

Presentation of the futuREady strategic plan – March 10, 2026

To deliver on this ambition, futuREady is built around four strategic pillars that will shape Renault Group’s next phase of transformation.

Growth-ready: leading with products and customer experience

In the automotive industry, growth starts with product desirability and customer value. Under futuREady, Renault Group will continue its product offensive with 36 launches planned by 2030 across its three brands. Europe remains the Group’s anchor market, while expansion will accelerate in selected fast-growing markets such as India and South America.

What growth-ready means in practice:

  • A second major product offensive across Renault Group brands,
  • Electrified line-ups adapted to each market,
  • Enhanced customer experience across the entire vehicle lifecycle,
  • Stronger presence in high-growth international markets.

By 2030, Renault aims to sell more than two million vehicles annually, with half of sales outside Europe and 100% electrified sales in Europe (50% electric, 50% full hybrid). Dacia will continue to build on its unique value-for-money positioning, expanding its electrified line-up from one to four EVs while strengthening its presence in the C segment. Alpine will accelerate its ambition as an electric sports brand, expanding its range of high-performance models while preserving the brand’s iconic DNA.

Tech-ready: accelerating innovation to stay ahead

Technology is transforming the automotive industry at unprecedented speed. Electrification, software, digital platforms and artificial intelligence are therefore at the heart of Renault Group’s strategy.The company has very detailed roadmaps to match the pace of the best contenders in the industry in terms of technologies.

A key technological asset of futuREady is the new RGEV medium 2.0 electric platform, designed to power the next generation of electric vehicles. Based on an 800-volt architecture, it will enable ultra-fast charging and deliver up to 750 km WLTP range, setting new standards for efficiency and performance.

Key technology priorities include:

  • Next-generation EV-native platforms, such as RGEV medium 2.0,
  • Launch of the 1st European software-defined vehicle (SDV) on the market in 2026, and development of new digital architectures enabling intelligent, connected cars,
  • Greater integration of artificial intelligence across the value chain, from vehicle development to customer experience,
  • Advanced battery and powertrain technologies, leveraging Renault Group’s dual expertise in electric and hybrid systems.

Excellence-ready: making operations resilient by design

In an increasingly volatile environment, operational excellence becomes a decisive competitive advantage. Renault Group is therefore accelerating its transformation into a faster, leaner and more data-driven organization.

Operational excellence focuses on:

  • 2-year development cycles for new vehicles,
  • AI “at scale” across all functions to boost execution,
  • the deployment of 350 humanoid robots, “Calvin”, in factories starting 2027,
  • embedding ESG objectives into the Group’s operations,
  • a targeted 20% reduction in production costs.

Through these initiatives, Renault Group aims to combine higher quality, greater efficiency and stronger industrial resilience.

Trust-ready: engaging stakeholders for long-term value

The fourth pillar of futuREady focuses on strengthening trust and collaboration across Renault Group’s ecosystem. Long-term competitiveness depends on the strength of relationships with employees, partners and customers.

Key stakeholder priorities:

  • Investment in skills development and employee training,
  • Stronger partnerships with suppliers and technology partners,
  • Transformation of the global dealer network,
  • Enhanced collaboration with industrial and mobility partners.

Digital technologies and artificial intelligence will also transform customer interaction, enabling dealers to focus even more on service and long-term loyalty.

FutuREady in numbers

  • 36 new models to be launched by 2030
  • 22 launches in Europe, including 16 fully electric vehicles
  • 14 launches in international markets
  • 2 million Renault vehicles sold annually by 2030
  • 50% of Renault brand sales outside Europe
  • 100% electrified Renault sales in Europe by 2030

Building performance that lasts

The automotive industry is entering a tougher, faster and more unpredictable cycle. Electrification is accelerating, software is redefining the car and artificial intelligence is reshaping mobility, while global competition continues to intensify.

In this rapidly evolving environment, Renault Group aims to strengthen its competitiveness and resilience. With futuREady, the Group is building a model designed to adapt, innovate and perform over the long term.

“FutuREady is based on pragmatic optimism. We know where we come from, we know where we want to go, and we know how to get there.”

With strong brands, advanced technologies and renewed operational discipline, Renault Group is entering this new chapter with a clear objective: to transform its success story into a success system.
