OVERVIEW OF RENAULT AND THE GROUP GROUPE RENAULT
The Renault MASTER is manufactured at the Batilly plant (France) and Curitiba plant (Brazil). It is sold in nearly 50 countries. In Europe, the share of the LCV Large Vans segment stood at 14% (including sales of Renault Trucks), thus allowing the Renault MASTER to consolidate its place on the podium. Internationally, in 2019 the Renault MASTER positioned itself as a leader on strategic markets, including Brazil (47.2% segment share). The MASTER maintains its position on the podium in Morocco (25.6% segment share), Australia (15.7%) and Argentina (16.4%). The Renault MASTER also continued its international expansion, with a particularly promising launch in October 2018 in South Korea, where 3,224 units were sold in 2019. The pick-up market represents a potential to conquer new markets and customers, as demonstrated by the ALASKAN and OROCH, which confirm the Renault offensive: 16% higher volume than in 2018. The ALASKAN is present in the Americas, with Colombia at 3.1% segment share, in Chile and Peru but also in Europe, where the model has a 0.6% segment share at the time of the transition to the E6dTemp range. The OROCH broke its sales record in 2019, with 36,729 units sold despite limited manufacturing volumes. It leads its segment in Argentina and Columbia, and is second in Chile and Mexico. In Mexico, sales of the Renault OROCH grew by 78% to 7,527 units, reaching a 3.4% share of the LCV market in the first full year of the vehicle. In Argentina, the OROCH confirms its leadership with a 36.1% segment share. In Brazil, the OROCH is performing well, with 13,360 sales, i.e. the same level as in 2018, and an LCV market share of 3.4%. Renault Z.E.: a pioneer and expert on the electric market, Renault is beginning its product offensive in electric cars In 2019, the electric market continued to grow in Europe, with volumes up +75% vs. 2018. Market growth is accelerating and more and more competitors are entering the market. Groupe Renault remains a major player in the EV market, with a dominant position in several countries. The Group has achieved technical and commercial maturity in this segment. In 2019, Groupe Renault began the renewal and extension of its range of electric vehicles. Every year until 2022, Groupe Renault will announce the launch of at least one new electric vehicle. In 2019, the range in Europe was renewed with the launch of the new ZOE. With a new battery that increases its WLTP range by up to 395kms, a new more powerful engine and renewed design, the new ZOE marks the start of a forthcoming Groupe Renault product offensive in the European market. With this renewal, the new ZOE will strengthen its position as the best-selling electric vehicle in Europe. In addition, Renault has maintained its leadership in Europe in cumulative EV sales since 2010. In the electric light commercial vehicle segment, the KANGOO Z.E. remained the undisputed leader in Europe for the ninth consecutive year with a 37% share of the electric segment. In late 2019, cumulative KANGOO Z.E. sales in Europe totaled 47,000 units.
Groupe Renault also continues to increase its sales internationally. In 2019, the Group sold its electric vehicles in 35 countries outside Europe. In this expansion process into new markets, the Renault TWIZY is now manufactured in Korea, the country in which the model has shown the most potential. Since the launch of the Renault electric program, the Group has sold more than 252,000 electric vehicles in Europe and more than 273,550 electric vehicles worldwide (181,893 ZOE, 48,821 KANGOO Z.E., 10,600 FLUENCE Z.E./SM3 Z.E.,2,658 K-ZE, 29,118 TWIZY and 409 MASTER Z.E.). Groupe Renault’s good performance is part of the Alliance’s overall strategy. Since 2010, the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance has sold over 800,000 100%-electric vehicles, a performance that has kept it in first place in the global EV market. At the global level, the 100%-electric market has risen sharply (+11% in China and +75% in Europe vs. 2018). The largest EV market in the world is China (60% of the world market). In order to meet the growing needs of that market, in October 2018, Groupe Renault introduced the Renault K-Z.E. showcar. In 2019, the introduction of the production vehicle and its first deliveries began in October. The ambitious launch of that product also means innovation for its marketing approach through several partnerships designed to widen our network coverage in that vast country. The European market is still the second-largest EV market in the world, almost doubling its size, followed by the US market, which has grown by more than 23%. In 2019, the European market reached a new record with more than 382,000 vehicles sold. Norway is the leading European market for electric vehicles in terms of volume and market share: more than one vehicle in three sold there is electric. Germany became the second-largest European electric vehicle market, followed very closely by France. For Groupe Renault, the largest markets are France, Germany, Norway, the United Kingdom and Sweden. The growth of the electric market is also linked to infrastructure. The number of charging stations has been multiplied in some regions to meet growing demand from users of electric vehicles. In several countries, there is a rapid charging station network that covers almost 100% of highways. To facilitate the use of electric vehicles, Renault continues to develop innovative connected services, With the launch of the new ZOE, Renault is launching its new MyRenault application, which combines all of the connected services linked to electric vehicles. This application also introduces new services such as a trip planner that displays charging requirements and times, a car-finding functionality and navigation that continues your trip after you get out of your vehicle. Renault is also committed to ecosystem development that promotes – and is encouraged by – the widespread rollout of electric mobility. For example, the Group has implemented solutions with its partners that allow batteries to be reused for different purposes, like home energy storage, smart energy storage for renewable energies or even for marine use through electrification of boats.
