OVERVIEW OF RENAULT AND THE GROUP

its refined interior and on-board comfort: the New RENAULT P KOLEOS has adopted the new design interpretation of the high-end brand INITIALE Paris. This version accounts for 45% of the versions sold. The new Renault KOLEOS offers comfort to every passenger: in the front, with heated, massaging and ventilated seats, in the rear with unequaled habitability; new engines: in South Korea, the QM6 has been enhanced with an P LPG engine, a unique offer in the segment; in Europe, the new KOLEOS has been enhanced with more powerful engines. With the TRAFIC PC, Renault also stands out in passenger transport with the renewal of its Combi, Bus and SpaceClass range in mid-2019, making it possible to transport up to nine people in exceptional comfort and performance conditions: volume and modularity, without compromising on comfort or the number of seats available. At the top of the range is SpaceClass, a veritable mobile lounge for an improved on-board experience, with up to six seats facing each other (best knee radius on the market), individual sliding, swivel and removable seats and a sliding table. In addition to its new design, the Renault TRAFIC PC has an enlarged and renewed range of efficient engines that meet WLTP standards with a 2.0 l diesel engine boasting up to 170hp and an EDC6 automatic transmission. Sold in over 40 countries, the Renault TRAFIC PC represents nearly 15% of TRAFIC sales worldwide, with 15,084 sales in 2019. Light commercial vehicles (LCVs) Groupe Renault is continuing to develop light commercial vehicles, not only under the Renault brand but also through manufacturing partnerships with Opel, Nissan, Renault Trucks, Daimler and, since 2016, with Fiat on the TALENTO Van. The partnership with Nissan was strengthened in 2019 with the production of the NV250 van at the Maubeuge plant. In late 2015, Renault launched the expert Renault Pro+ brand for professional customers all over the world, by highlighting the products and services dedicated to them. The specialized Renault Pro+ network is the spearhead of the expert brand. This specialized network currently comprises 633 points of sale that meet standards tailored to business customers’ expectations, demonstrating its efficiency year after year. It celebrated its tenth birthday in 2019. Groupe Renault saw excellent commercial performance in 2019. With 624,289 LCV sales (including JINBEI), or 6.04% of world market share (excluding North America), the Group set a new benchmark. International accounted for 42.9% of global LCV sales. In non-pick-up markets in Europe, the Renault brand once again beats its record, with 319,277 sales, and remains a clear leader with 15.7% of the LCV market. Outside Europe, the Group’s LCV sales held up well despite declines in the Argentinian and Turkish markets. Renault is in the Top 2 excluding pick-ups in the four largest markets in Latin America. Renault’s LCV range comprises vehicles from 1.6 to 6.5 metric tons and from 2 to 22 m 3 in gasoline, diesel and electric vehicles (TWIZY Cargo, ZOE Company, KANGOO Z.E. and MASTER Z.E.). Renault is the European leader in LCV EV sales, with a 42.4% market share thanks to the KANGOO Z.E., the best-seller with almost 10,077 sales (+20% growth) and the ZOE LCV.

In the small van segment (weight <2 metric tons), the KANGOO Express remains an essential benchmark in the market. The KANGOO Express and KANGOO Z.E. are in the TOP 2 in Europe, with a 16% share of the small van segment. With the KANGOO Z.E. - the electric model - doubling its sales in 2018, taking advantage of its 33 kWh battery, it now has a 36.6% market share in electric LCVs. After 12 years on the market, the KANGOO (PC + LCV combined) sold nearly 125,880 units globally in 2019. The KANGOO Z.E. Concept was presented in an electric light commercial version, giving a taste of the future generation due to be released in 2020. In Latin America, the new generation of the KANGOO, produced in Cordoba (Argentina) and launched in mid-2018, suffered from very unfavorable economic conditions in Argentina but gained success in new territories such as Mexico. In the van segment (between 2 and 6.5 metric tons), Renault is continuing its offensive by relying on a brand New TRAFIC and MASTER range that has been available since September 2019. With 212,048 units, the range of vans sold under the Renault brand had a new sales record in 2019, crossing the 200,000 unit threshold for the third year in a row. More specifically, the MASTER had a fourth consecutive record year (108,759 sales excluding Renault Trucks). The TRAFIC is a redesigned, versatile van with a refined interior design and expressive exterior (full LED headlights and light signature) and new 2.0 l engines with up to 170hp and 380Nm and an EDC6 automatic transmission. More comfortable, and designed to be used as a mobile office by professionals, the TRAFIC has record dimensions for usable length (4.15m), with volume ranging from 5.2 to 8.6m 3 . The TRAFIC is available in 275 versions from vans to flatbeds to crew cabs or numerous layout variations for panelwork and windows, lengths or heights. In 2019, the Renault TRAFIC exceeded the 100,000 annual sales milestone (102,289 units) and maintained its third place in the LCV Compact Van segment in Europe (with a 15.2% segment share). The Renault TRAFIC is manufactured in the plant in Sandouville (France). In the Large Van segment, the Renault MASTER offers a new, larger and more robust front end, a completely redesigned interior, new ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) and new, more powerful and quieter engines. It makes drivers’ lives easier with new innovative equipment (extractable dashboard tablet, drawer-style glove box, induction smartphone charger, and for the first time in the segment, “rear view assist”, a rear view monitoring assistant). The Renault MASTER offers “made-to-measure” features, with over 350 versions, four lengths, three heights, vans, combis, platform and chassis cab, front and rear-wheel drive, etc., offering a working volume of between 8 and 22m 3 . In terms of engines, the Renault MASTER has a new range of 2.3 l dCi engines even better suited for professional uses. These engines now meet Euro 6d-temp/Euro VI (depending on the version) standards and all of them have Twin Turbo technology. They have increased power of up to 180hp and increased torque of up to 400Nm for a more dynamic and responsive driving experience. They offer a significant consumption saving of up to 1 l/100km (NEDC correlated values).
