Contributions of the Group and its entities to sustainable development
- Renault Group’s core business is deploying its decarbonisation strategy, in particular by developing efficient ICE and hybrid engines through its Horse subsidiary.
- Ampere is an essential lever for decarbonisation, offering a fair transition to all-electricity with the help of cutting-edge technologies.
- Alpine is planning a new electric range to combine sportiness with a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
- Mobilize, with its solutions for shared electric mobility and battery-based services, is creating environmental and social value.
- Finally, The Future Is NEUTRAL aims to preserve resources by creating recycling closed loops - from car to car - and also battery recycling.
Renault Group & Horse 01
- Accessible mobility
- Up to 70% reduction in CO2 emissions per vehicle in 2030
Thermal and hybrid vehicles will probably still account for up to 50% of global passenger car sales by 2040. Developing efficient, low-emission technologies in this field is essential. Renault Group is committed to developing its core business with this in mind and is drawing on the expertise of its Horse subsidiary to develop a new range of internal combustion and hybrid powertrains for Renault and Dacia vehicles. In partnership with carmaker Geely, it is creating a global supplier of low-emission combustion and hybrid powertrains.
News
Renault Group and Geely sign joint venture agreement to create powertrain leader.
The two partners will have equal ownership of the new joint venture, which aims to become the leader in next-generation thermal and hybrid low-emission powertrains.
The new company will comprise 17 plants and 5 R&D centres on 3 continents with 19,000 employees, and will produce up to five million transmissions and engines a year.

- 100% EV range
- Carbon-neutral production by 2025
- Local value chain
- Upskilling, training
A major contributor to the Group's decarbonisation objectives, Ampere will develop, manufacture and market a range of 100% electric passenger cars under the Renault brand. Six electric vehicles manufactured in France will be launched by 2030. Ampere also aims to achieve carbon neutrality in its manufacturing from 2025.
With the aim of creating a European value chain for electric vehicles, Ampere will work with the most relevant players to gain access to know-how, ensure sustainable supply and gain greater clarity and control over costs and performance. From 10% coverage of the electric vehicle value chain in 2020, Ampere will cover more than 30% at its launch and will reach 80% by 2030.
A fully-fledged car manufacturer, Ampere will have around 10,000 employees. Thanks to Reknow University's training programmes, Ampere is also helping to develop and improve its employees' skills in the professions of tomorrow.
