Renault Group has announced an ambitious plan for the next decade: 36 new models by 2030. Presenting the program in Paris was CEO François Provost, who illustrated how the company strategy will evolve from Renaulution to “futuReady”. In Europe, 22 new models will arrive in particular, 16 of which will be fully electric, while another 14 will be launched in the rest of the world.

Renault relaunch plan
Among the most relevant technical innovations, Provost anticipated that the new RGEV medium 2.0 modular electric platform with 800-Volt architecture, capable of very fast charging (around 10 minutes), will arrive in 2030 and will be intended for segments B+ to D. At the same time, the group will maintain hybrid engines in its range to ensure commercial flexibility in different markets. For the Renault brand, the goal is ambitious: to sell 2 million cars per year by 2030, with 50% of sales outside Europe.
Electrified ambitions in Europe
In detail, the Diamond brand plans to introduce 12 new models to the European market within the next five years, with all cars sold on the continent being electrified. In other geographical areas, the target is for 50% of sales to be electrified. The transition to electric is therefore accelerated, but the group confirms a pragmatic approach that combines electric vehicles, hybrids, and alternative solutions where necessary to respond to heterogeneous market needs.

From Dacia to Alpine
The group’s other brands also receive specific boosts: Dacia is bringing its electric range to four models and aims to achieve two-thirds of sales with electrified cars by the end of the decade, without however abandoning the E-Tech hybrid offer. And if market conditions allow, the LPG proposal will also have a future. Alpine confirms its sporting vocation with the new A110, built on the Alpine Performance Platform, and continues its strategy of exclusive models and limited series versions such as the Alpine A110 R Ultime.
