INNOVATING OUR PRODUCTS
Our goal is to create ever safer vehicles, to ensure the safety of the occupants and others exposed to the risk of road accidents. We analyse the observed risks to find innovative solutions.
In our vehicles, these innovations include ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) which reassure the driver, reduce the risk of accidents and improve the protection of occupants and other road users.
These ADAS, including the Highway and Trafic Jam Companion, which combines Adaptative Cruise Control (with the Stop&Go automatic stop and restart function) and Lane Centering Assist, serve as the base for the future autonomous vehicle.
TAKING ACTION FOR SOCIETY:
The Groupe Renault actively works with public authorities and institutions around the world to improve road safety. We transfer our know-how and we are enriched by the expertise of road safety actors, laboratories and local universities. As such, we have created the LAB with the PSA group.
The LAB (Laboratory of Accidentology and Biomechanics) was created in 1969 with the mission of observing, analysing and anticipating behaviour to improve road safety.
The LAB has contributed to a fivefold reduction in the number of road deaths in France over the past 50 years.

Since 2010, Renault has been working with firefighters to improve vehicle, passenger and road safety. This partnership has been built around two major axes: taking into consideration the interventions of the emergency services from the design of the vehicles ; and the contribution of firefighters to the improvement of the emergency response. This is called tertiary security. As a testament to this commitment, Renault has signed a sponsorship agreement with the National Federation of Firefighters of France since 2012. In 2016, Renault decided to include tertiary safety in its corporate strategy by appointing a tertiary safety expert. This approach was reinforced in 2018 by integrating a full-time professional firefighter officer into the Social and Sustainable Impact department, thanks to an agreement signed with the Yvelines Departmental Fire and Rescue Service.

AWARENESS AT THE HEART OF OUR ACTIONS
In France, Groupe Renault signed the national call for companies in favor of road safety. In this context, a series of actions has been initiated internationally among the group’s employees.
- Awareness among employees, hosted on the sites by health and safety prevention engineers, occupational physicians and road risk prevention professionals.
- The evolution of the training system, with an e-learning program focused on road safety made available to all group employees.
