different levels of hybridization, from Stop & Start to affordable P rechargeable hybrid technology. The corporate strategic plan includes the launch of 12 electrified models representing half of the range. In 2020, the Group will accordingly start to sell hybrid versions of Clio, and plug-in hybrid versions of Captur and Megane, based on the E-TECH technology presented in detail in 1.4.4.2 Competitiveness of Alliance technologies. In 2019, based on the data available at the date of publication, average CO 2 emissions from Groupe Renault’s passenger cars in Europe were estimated at 118,1g CO 2 /km. The increase was primarily due to the impact of the WLTP procedure and the continued decrease of the diesel engine share, as diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline engines in terms of CO 2 emissions (-9 points in Groupe Renault’s sales mix in Europe in comparison with 2018). However, Groupe Renault’s CAFE remains below its regulatory objective, with a difference of -7.9g CO 2 /km in 2019.

The ZOE (22 kWh) carbon footprint throughout its life-cycle is nearly 40% less than that of an equivalent internal combustion vehicle, based on the average European electric production mix. Moreover, the carbon footprint of each electric vehicle in use, including those on the roads today, is set to decrease steadily over the coming years given the planned increase in the share of renewable energy in the European energy mix.

Electric vehicles are a major component of Renault’s strategy. The Company is targeting a large-scale roll-out of this type of vehicle, which provides a real solution to atmospheric pollution in urban areas by the absence of pollutant emissions during use  (1) (see “Vehicle use” under section 2.3.3.C.a). They can also significantly reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with transportation.
