The Renaulution is already delivering tangible results: the company is more profitable, more competitive and more efficient, its brands are shining brighter, and it is revamping its product line-up.
The Resurrection phase was completed ahead of schedule. The Group is profitable again since 2022:
Group operating margin
achieved 3 years in advance
Automotive free cash flow
achieved almost 1 year in advance
R&D Capex (% of revenue)
since 2021
We reached our 2025 profitability target in 2022.
We generated €2.7 billion by end-2022 and are well on track to meet our €3 billion target in 2023.
And we have set our R&D spend above 8%.
The Renovation phase has started and is standing on firm ground.
The Group is now organised by brand, and this new configuration is producing results: Renault, Dacia and Alpine are now strong independent business units, and the Group has created Mobilize to take on the new challenges facing mobility. This reorganisation was the first step to streamline the Group around consumers’ needs and to transfer the focus to performance.
At the same time, we will market the best line-up in these past 30 years, with 25 launches from 2022 to 2025. This new range is designed to position the Group on the most profitable market segments while it aims for the smallest environmental footprint in its sector.
In 2023 we are embarking on the Revolution phase: our full transformation to tap into all the growth opportunities arising from the automotive sector’s reshuffle. Our ambition is to become a Next Gen automotive company.
The EV & digital revolutions, the shift from selling cars to selling mobility services, and the urge to make our industry sustainable, are radically reshaping the automotive sector.
All these shakeups are opening doors into new playing fields for Renault Group.
To turn these challenges into growth opportunities, the Group is speeding up its transformation to excel in all the new value chains – technology, industry, services, circular economy and so forth.
To do this, we are setting up specialist teams. The goal is to concentrate their talents, expertise and energy in each field, and thereby move into the lead.
We team up, whenever we can, with the best players in the field to invest together, build together, expand the possibilities for innovation and share risks.
In other words, we are building open ecosystems to take on growing portions of these new value chains.
Our determination is to prepare the company for the future challenges and opportunities generated by the transformation of our industry. After having executed one of the fastest and unexpected recovery plans, after having prepared the company for growth by securing the development of the best product line-up in decades, we intend to position ourselves faster and stronger than competition on the new automotive value chains: EV, software, new mobility and circular economy. All this is one of the most progressive re-engineering projects of the recent years in our industry, a Revolution in its kind.
We know that our organisation needs nothing short of a full transformation. And it has started.
It involves creating two new entities (Ampere and Horse) alongside the three existing ones (Alpine, Mobilize and The Future Is NEUTRAL). They are all centred around intrinsically profitable business operations, open to outside investment and built around a consistent array of technologies. They all have autonomous governance bodies and clear objectives. They are:
While agility and specialisation are key to supporting this transformation, our metamorphosis is also based on a common trunk and solid roots. Our expertise, our teams, our values and our commitments are the cement and the strength of the new Renault Group organisation.
A major technological and industrial group built around a portfolio of benchmark, complementary entities and brands, with the ambition of being a next generation automotive company.
A committed group that encouragenovation that is fair in economic, environmental and social terms, for more sustainable, safe and accessible mobility.
A 100% digitised group that we want to be more efficient and that concentrates its energy on the most strategic and value-creating missions:
We bring together within Power:
Furthermore, Renault Group & Geely will create a world leader for powertrains, combining both companies’ technology assets, production capacity and R&D capabilities. See below “Our five focused businesses”.
Renault will be the first brand in our portfolio to become full EV electric, in Europe in 2030. But it will also be the last to remain ICE & Hybrid due to its international presence, especially in Latin America, India, South Korea, and North Africa where electrification trajectories will be slower.
To do this, Renault has a choice of full-hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles in its E-Tech range, which is growing non-stop. It already included Clio, Captur, Megane and Arkana. In 2022, it grew to encompass All-new Austral, which ushered in a new, more powerful, more efficient and more frugal full-hybrid version of the E-Tech system, and All-new Renault Espace. All-New Rafale, our future high-end coupe-SUV, will complete the E-Tech hybrid powertrain family.
In all, Renault brand ICE and hybrid vehicles will continue its C-segment offensive and will grow by 20% its net revenue, while expanding its contribution margin by 30% between 2022 and 2030.
Dacia is a brand that the Group wants to put at the forefront of the world’s transition to affordable low-emissions ICE and hybrid models.
As its business model is unrivalled, Dacia has few competitors and its profitability is in double-digit territory. Sandero, for instance, has been Europe’s best-selling car among private customers since 2017, and Dacia is one of the continent’s most popular brands. It is the only carmaker growing in Europe’s crisis-ridden automotive sector.
Dacia is already a champion in the B-segment and plans to invest heavily in the C-segment. It started with Jogger in 2021, Dacia Bigster will take up the baton and two other vehicles will follow. Meanwhile, Dacia will continue to reduce its costs and benefit from the plan to double production of the CMF-B worldwide platform to 2 million units by 2030.
Dacia will play its part in reinventing the combustion engine value chain, taking advantage of the revolutionary powertrains developed by the new entity Horse and adapted to the future alternative and synthetic fuels. It will also help smoothen the transition to electric vehicles in Europe by tendering affordable models.
Renault Group’s LCV business relies on solid foundations with over 5 million vehicles in European car park, an ecosystem of over 600 dedicated Pro+ dealers, 4 plants and the most up-to-date line-up by 2026.
Renault LCV will develop two game changing projects to address a dynamic and changing market:
As the world gravitates towards carbon neutrality, we will need to be able to address a market centred around two large clusters:
ICE & Hybrid vehicles will still represent up to 50% of passenger cars sales worldwide even by 2040. Developing efficient technologies in that field remains key for the future of any Global OEM.
To meet this objective, Renault Group is bringing together its mechanical engineering and manufacturing business in a new entity called Horse.
This dedicated business will design, develop, produce, and sell all ICE and hybrid low-emission powertrain components and systems with state-of-the-art technologies. They will equip thermal and hybrid cars with the best technology available on the market, and contribute to more sustainable mobility.
Through this partnership, Renault Group and Geely will join forces to offer their customers a complete portfolio of technologies for ICE & hybrid passengers cars and future alternative fuels, while doubling doubling their market reach.Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors - as members of the Alliance - will become customers of this new entity.

Ampere is designed to lead European BEV race in competitiveness and technology. Ampere will develop, manufacture and sell all-electric cars under the Renault brand packed with:
Based in France, Ampere will be a full-fledged OEM with around 10,000 employees. As a tech company, Ampere will drive innovation with 3,500 engineers, half of them specialized in software.
Renault (Europe), all-electric
Ampere will be the key to boost the Renault brand and usher it into the new era of electric and connected vehicles, driven by Renault brand 95% awareness and field presence with 4,700 dealerships all over Europe.
It will provide the technology and organisation to turn Renault into an all-electric brand in Europe by 2030, and support Renault Group’s aim to achieve carbon neutrality in Europe by 2040 and worldwide by 2050.
Ampere will tender a first line-up of 6 electric vehicle models: the B-segment with the new Renault 5 Electric and Renault 4 Electric, and the C-segment with Megane E-tech Electric, Scénic Electric and 2 other vehicles to be revealed. The entity will tender a revamped customer journey “tailor-made” for electro-mobility: the choice to go digital or physical; a smooth charging experience with a dense European network; an increased residual value thanks to full lifecycle management and SDV upgradeability.
Ampere is a growth story, shooting for 30% compounded annual revenue growth rate (CAGR) until 2030. With 80% of its investments already behind, it targets operating profit and free cash-flow breakeven as early as 2025, and a double-digit margin in 2030.
Renault Group will remain Ampere’s majority shareholder.
As part of the strengthening of the partnership between the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance members, Nissan announced in February 2023 its intention to invest up to 15% in Ampere, with the aim to become a strategic investor and to accelerate new business opportunities in Europe.
ElectriCity started up in 2021 and is a unique manufacturing ecosystem in France. with a 400,000 units capacity at Day 1, its roadmap aims to reach 1 million units capacity. It encompasses the plants in Douai, Maubeuge and Ruitz, which have been active in northern France for more than 50 years. It also draws on mechanical expertise at the plant in Cléon to manufacture powertrains.
ElectriCity’s competitive edge comes from its comprehensive electric mobility ecosystem, which brings together research centres, universities, startups and suppliers with cutting-edge expertise. With 80% of suppliers within less than 300 kilometres, this will ensure reactivity, cost-efficiency, and unmatched carbon footprint.
ElectriCity will push manufacturing productivity at the best levels, reaching less than 10 hours production time per vehicle.
Key figures:
Ampere provides outstanding EV value chain coverage thanks to a unique ecosystemic approach, from 10% in 2019, to 30% in 2022, to 80% in 2030.
Ampere can rely on key partners in the electric vehicle value chain:
This value chain coverage will make it possible to:
The fact that most of our supply chain is in Europe also contributes to our decarbonisation objectives.
By 2030, 40% of the car’s value generation will come from software in 2030, against 10% today. Software-defined vehicles will evolve non-stop – and get better every day:
The Group’s first entirely software-defined vehicle will be on roads in 2026, and be a Renault brand car. We are developing it with technology partners including Qualcomm and Google.
We teamed up with Qualcomm Technologies to co-develop high-performance computing platforms based on Snapdragon Digital® Chassis™ solutions for the Centralized Electronic Architecture. This includes System on Chip and low layers software in addition to features, in-car services and applications.
We teamed up with Google with whom the collaboration includes an Android-based platform for Software‑Defined Vehicle which is already available on Megane E-Tech Electric and All-New Austral. Now we're going one step further, beyond infotainment, by co-developing a genuine automotive operating system based on Android Automotive.
After two years into the Renaulution plan, the Alpine brand is in a great place:
We have breathed new life into the brand.
Moving forward, Alpine is aiming to:
Alpine is striving for profitable and enduring growth with a one-of-a-kind business model: it operates as a standalone startup.
Its organisation is therefore agile, and it has its own in-house technological capabilities:
Meanwhile, the Alpine F1 teams are focused on their goal: to be in a position to win the Formula 1 world title by 2026.
New mobility services are one of the main opportunities arising from the shakeup in the automotive sector.
The European market for financing, mobility and energy services is expected to double in value between 2022 and 2030. Mobilize is tasked with tapping into these opportunities.
The brand combines financial services, mobility services, energy services and data-based services in a one-stop shop to meet the needs of private customers, fleet operators and mobility companies.
The brand can count on a number of assets:
What puts Mobilize in a class of its own is its focus on the service rather than the product. With its VaaS (Vehicle as a Service) model, Mobilize will generate three times more revenue during a vehicle’s life cycle than it would simply selling vehicles.
We see shrinking our environmental footprint as a lever to enhance performance in everything we do, everywhere.
This is what The Future Is NEUTRAL, the first company spanning the full circular economy value chain in the automotive sector, is all about: it helps all players in the industry move closer to resource neutrality by using more recycled materials to make new vehicles.
This new entity provides closed-loop recycling solutions at every stage in a vehicle’s life, across sourcing parts and raw materials to production and on to use and the end of the vehicle’s life.
From around 50% of value chain coverage today, The Future Is NEUTRAL aims to reach above 90% by 2030. It is set to become the European leader at industrial scale in the closed-loop automotive circular economy. It will service Renault Group as a well as the entire industry. In order to accelerate its development and strengthen its leadership, The Future Is NEUTRAL is opening up a minority of its capital to outside investors with the objective of to co-finance investments of around €500 million until 2030.
