General product safety 2.2.2.3 In terms of general product safety, Renault has defined a general policy to be followed, based on: a reference database of customer events considered by Renault to P be potentially safety-related. These events are addressed systematically during visits to dealerships or, by a recall. This system is updated regularly; a structure with general product safety representatives in each of P the large entities involved in product safety, under the authority of an Expert Leader ; the creation of safety documentation for each project P (demonstration of safety risk control documentation), covering engineering, manufacture, sales and after-sales. It is created and validated according to specific rules and processes and signed by the Chief Engineer of the relevant project and by the Renault Expert Leader in product operational safety and overall safety; the establishment and introduction of training/awareness-raising P sessions for relevant Renault employees.

Clearly one of the main challenges is to ensure the safety of all users on roads that are increasingly connected and automated. Renault is therefore working in-house with VeDeCom, the scientific community and industrial partners, as well as with public authorities, on all aspects of safety: operational safety; P general product safety; P regulatory compliance (technical and Highway code); P compliance with the European Statement of Principles on P Human-Machine Interface; development of international norms and standards; P definition of possible applications for connectivity and automation P services compatible with planned or foreseeable usage, including any potential distractions; compliance with the laws on personal data records; P The goal is to demonstrate this safety through six types of testing, to test and validate the performance and safety of the services and associated technical solutions: basic operational tests using test facilities and simulations, P operational tests on test tracks, P operational tests on open roads with escort vehicles, P service tests on authorized open roads, P “large-scale” service tests on authorized open roads, P pre-commercialization pilot tests. P The connected vehicle has already been rolled-out as part of the collaborative SCOOP@F project. Partially automated vehicles with simple initial cases of use will take their place in the Renault range over the next few months.

In the plants, digital technologies P support our employees: they reinforce mobility and information sharing, improve reactivity and facilitate decision- making as close as possible to manufacturing;

Digital transformation 2.2.3.1 The automotive sector is undergoing rapid change with the ramp-up of electric vehicles, the arrival of the autonomous and connected vehicle, customization… To meet this revolution, the automotive industry must adapt to ensure the reliability and full traceability of its production.
