REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

Active safety 1.7.1.3.2 From July 2022, all newly approved PCs and small LCVs (classes M1 and N1) will be required to be equipped during manufacture with: an AEB (Advanced Emergency Braking) system to reduce the risk P of collision with other vehicles, whether stationary or in motion; an Emergency Lane Keeping system that brings vehicles back into P their lane before an involuntary crossing (without indicator signals) of an unbroken line and alerts drivers in the event of an involuntary crossing of a broken line; an Intelligent Speed Adaptation system capable of alerting the P driver when vehicle speed exceeds the limits; a Driver Drowsiness & Attention Warning system, which should be P based on analysis of activity at the steering wheel, pedals, etc. These Advanced driver aids systems (ADAS) will become obligatory from July 2024 for all newly registered vehicles in the European Union. Two years after these dates, new ADAS will become mandatory in turn, such as the AEB system, which takes pedestrians and cyclists into account, and the Advanced Driver Distraction Warning system, which will require technologies that use cameras and image analysis algorithms. From July 2022, all newly approved PCs and commercial vehicles (LCVs and public transit) must, depending on their PC, public transit, light LCV or heavy LCV category, be equipped with pedestrian and cyclist proximity detection and/or vision systems on the front, side and rear of the vehicle. These systems will become obligatory from July 2024 for all newly registered vehicles in the European Union. Cybersecurity 1.7.1.3.3 Regulation No. 661/2009 also introduced cybersecurity requirements for vehicles (all categories). These requirements will become effective in July 2022 for newly approved vehicles and in July 2024 for all newly registered vehicles in the European Union. These new provisions require manufacturers to put in place a very well structured Cyber Security Management System to ensure traceability and transparency for all decisions and approvals in respect of the inspection authorities and require incorporation in vehicles of state-of-the-art technical solutions to limit cyber risks as soon as these are designed. Various countries, such as Japan, South Korea, Turkey and Israel, would have to adopt similar requirements.

(EU) regulation 333/2014 had stipulated a limit of 95g of CO 2 /km applicable to 95% of the passenger cars fleet starting from 2020. Starting from 2021, (EU) regulation No. 2019/631 defines the objectives to be achieved up to 2030. This regulation stipulates achievement by 2025 of a reduction of 15% compared to a start point calculated in 2021, and in 2030, a reduction of 37.5% compared to this same start point. These objectives cannot be achieved without a significant increase in the share of hybrid and electric cars in the Renault range. In addition, regulation No. 2019/631 introduces an incentive to exceed a minimum level of zero- or low-emission vehicles (ZLEVs) as a percentage of the range in 2025 and 2030. The same principles apply to light commercial vehicles, with a target of 147g of CO 2 /km in 2020 and ambitions for a reduction of 15% in 2025 and 31% in 2030, compared to a base defined in 2021. Regulation no. 2019/631 also stipulates a penalty of €95 per gram of CO 2 and per vehicle sold in the event of failure to achieve the abovementioned objectives. However, this regulation provides a certain amount of flexibility, such as the possibility of forming a pool between manufacturers, and benefiting from gains made through eco-innovations or vehicles with zero and very low consumption. The 2023 revision clause introduced into regulation No. 2019/631 lays down the principle of setting new objectives for 2035 and 2040, in order to achieve carbon neutrality in Europe by 2050. This desire to combat global warming is found in other countries where Renault operates, such as China, Brazil and India. In addition, China in particular has comprehensive regulations for electric vehicles (pure and hybrid electric). 1.7.1.3 The entry into force of (EC) regulation No. 661/2009 concerning the requirements for approval relating to the general safety of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, parts and separate technical entities that are intended for them , will require manufacturers to incorporate an entire series of safety systems and to design the structure of new vehicles taking into account new requirements aimed at minimizing the severity of accidents in head-on, side and rear impact collisions. Passive safety 1.7.1.3.1 All newly approved PCs and small LCVs from July 2022 will have to meet new requirements for head-on, side and rear impact collisions. The requirements will be applicable to all newly registered vehicles in the European Union from July 2024. Two years after these dates, new requirements for the safety of pedestrians will apply to the front end of these vehicles, in order to extend the protection zones up to the windscreen.
