BUILDING TOMORROW’S MOBILITY FROM TODAY

In terms of mobility, new uses and new technologies are spreading, questioning the place and status of individual cars ownership. The market is increasingly being structured according to uses of consumers, who are looking less for ownership of a vehicle, than for a multimodal, innovative, connected, more ecological offering suited to the diversity of their needs. The city of the future will be smarter, more inclusive, more connected and more collaborative. Vehicles that are clean, silent and shared will travel through it. Personal vehicles will share the road in the cities, as well as in rural areas, with new forms of services based on usage: car-sharing, carpooling, on-demand vehicles (chauffeur driven vehicles, taxis, etc. ) as well as robot vehicles. As a sustainable mobility operator, and no longer just a carmaker, Groupe Renault is working to develop a vast range of shared and environmentally-responsible solutions: Car-sharing; P On-demand transport; P Short-term rentals; P Carpooling. P Car-sharing: more and more consumers have chosen to share P rather than own, particularly young generations in urban and suburban areas. Groupe Renault supports this sharing economy and has become a service operator to propose new urban mobility offerings. Today in Europe, several car-sharing services operated by the Group’s partners use Renault electric vehicles. Renault is today able to set up different car-sharing modes (free-floating, closed loops) and adapt them to the context in each city. Among the different types of car-sharing, the trend is towards “free-floating” which enables the user to park the vehicle wherever he/she wants to within a geographical area. This is one of the options selected by Groupe Renault in Madrid, with the implementation of its Zity service, which operates a fleet of 650 ZOE in the Spanish capital. In Nice, Groupe Renault fully assumes its position as pioneer by being the first operator to be awarded the city’s new “car-sharing” label. Via the Renault Mobility application, users benefit from access to a fleet of 57 self-service Renault ZOE operating in a closed loop system. Groupe Renault is present in most European capitals with a shared, electric mobility service. In this way, over 7,000 electric vehicles are currently made available to users of car-sharing services by Renault in Europe, such as ZITY in Madrid, Moov’in in Paris or Green Mobility in Copenhagen. The electric car is already connected: in the future it will also be autonomous, which will make traffic more fluid in the city and improve safety. The development of autonomous vehicles and shuttles will improve complementarity between transport modes and facilitate multi-modality, making the overall system cleaner, safer and more accessible.

With public and private partners, Renault is experimenting with autonomous ZOE which, in the long term, will no longer require any human intervention. In Rouen, Groupe Renault and Transdev have launched the first tests in Europe of a shared, autonomous, on-demand mobility service on open roads: the Rouen Normandy Autonomous Lab. Four electric and autonomous Renault ZOE robot vehicles carry out on-demand trips over three routes totaling around 10km. The test phase extends from June 2018 to the end of 2019. These ZOE pick up several passengers on a defined circuit to serve different points of activity within a district that is not accessible by public transport. Rouen is the first European city to test robot vehicles on open roads, thus improving the accessibility of the local transport system. Since 2017, Groupe Renault has also offered a range of products P designed for professional customers as part of on-demand transport: In 2019, Flit Technologies (Karhoo) started the commercial P launch of its main products by securing an international reference customer for each of its verticals (OTAs, Travel Operators, Hotels & Loyalties, Corporate Mobility, MaaS, Assistance, NEMT). The year was marked in particular by the signature of strategic partnerships with SNCF, Booking.com, Accor, RATP Dev, Transdev and Renfe. The quality of the technology, strategy and services developed enabled Karhoo to be awarded the “Best European Start-Up for Mobility 2019” prize, a leading initiative co-founded by the Chairperson of the European Parliament Transport and Tourism Committee, Karima Delli, Boston Consulting Group and Via ID. In May 2019, the SNCF signed a partnership agreement with Groupe Renault and Karhoo in France to launch “mon chauffeur” (my driver), the first mobility platform that compares offers from taxis and chauffeur-driven vehicles, as a complement to train travel, to meet the challenges of shared mobility. In June 2018, the Group took a majority stake in iCabbi , a P publisher of taxi fleet management systems, which is now one of the leading dispatch suppliers worldwide leader in the United States, Canada, Ireland and in the corporate segment (> 500 cars) in the United Kingdom (no. 2). iCabbi’s customers made 192 million trips over the last 12 months using the iCabbi system, used by over 100,000 taxis/chauffeur-driven cars. The Group has also developed a short-term rental service that P enables individuals to rent a self-service car 24 hours a day and 7 days a week: Renault Mobility . Entirely dematerialized, it enables individuals to reserve, pay, access and rent a car-sharing car at any time and companies to share certain cars in their fleets in order to optimize utilization rates. Renault Mobility already has over 5,000 cars accessible 24 hours a day and 7 days a week through a mobile application, via the Renault network, and has signed partnerships such as with Ikea. This solution is currently available in the Renault network mainly in France and Italy. It is being rolled-out in Europe. A white-label car-sharing offer has also been developed, marketed under the brand Glide.
