OVERVIEW OF RENAULT AND THE GROUP

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. The Renault TRAFIC recorded annual sales of 63,221 in the Compact LCV segment in Europe (with a segment share of 14%). It is manufactured at the Sandouville plant in 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 while keeping fuel consumption low. 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 fourth place on the podium. Internationally, in 2020 the Renault MASTER positioned itself as a leader on strategic markets, including Brazil (42.8% segment share) and Morocco (31.5% market share). The MASTER maintains its position on the podium in Australia (14.4%) and Argentina (17.2%). The Pick-up market represents a potential for Renault to win new customers. The Renault ALASKAN and the Renault OROCH form the backbone of this market offensive. In America, the Renault ALASKAN has taken a new step forward. In November 2020, the Renault Santa-Isabel plant in Cordoba began manufacturing the Renault ALASKAN for the Argentinian market. This launch rounds out the ALASKAN’s footprint in the Americas with an entry into Colombia, where it recorded a segment share of 5.7% in 2020. In Europe, the ALASKAN has suffered from a complicated commercial and industrial environment, with the transition to the E6dTemp range, the impact of COVID-19 and the consequences of Nissan’s announced withdrawal from the Barcelona plant at the end of 2021. Despite this backdrop, a limited “Ice Edition” will be marketed in January 2021 to highlight one of the model’s strengths: its highly expressive design.

At the end of 2015, Renault launched the “Renault Pro+” expert brand dedicated to professional customers. It covers a wide range of LCVs and services, tailored offers of converted and bodyworked vehicles, and a network of Renault Pro sales and after-sales specialists. Renault Pro+ aims to offer its customers intelligent innovations to make their day-to-day work easier and thus help them grow their business in a sustainable way. The specialized Renault Pro+ network is the spearhead of the expert brand. This specialized network currently comprises 626 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's commercial performance in 2020 was hampered by the complex economic context of COVID-19. With 520,640 LCV sales (including JINBEI), or 5.48% of global market share (excluding North America), the drive for international sales continued and accounted for 47.8% of global LCV sales, compared with 42.3% in 2019. In non-pick-up markets in Europe, the Renault brand ranked in the Top 2 with 14.6% of the LCV market. Renault was also 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 (ZOE Company, KANGOO Z.E. and MASTER Z.E.). Renault is the European leader in LCV EV sales, with a 37.1% market share thanks to the KANGOO Z.E., the best-seller with almost 10,000 sales and the ZOE LCV. In the small van segment (weight <2 metric tons), the KANGOO remains an essential benchmark in the market. The KANGOO and KANGOO Z.E. remain firmly entrenched in the Top 3 in Europe, with 14% of the small van segment. The KANGOO Z.E. – the electric model – took 29.2% of the electric LCV market, with nearly 10,000 vehicles sold over the year. More than 55,000 KANGOO Z.E. cars are on the road in Europe, making it a major contributor to sustainable mobility in the field of professional activities. The combined PC+LCV KANGOO, now on the market for 13 years, has racked up more than 1.5 million sales worldwide. It will continue its life a little in 2021, but will soon be supported by a new generation of two models: the New EXPRESS van and the New KANGOO van, which were unveiled in picture in November 2020, with the first deliveries due in the spring of 2021. The new KANGOO van offers some very appealing innovations that will once again revolutionize the market and the way user companies work. In Latin America, the new generation of KANGOO vans, made in Cordoba (Argentina) and launched in mid-2018, is suffering from the very unfavorable economic environment in Argentina, but is extending its marketing reach into countries like Mexico pending its entry into the Brazilian market with flex-fuel engines. The KANGOO thus ranked third in Latin America in 2020. In the van segment (between 2 and 6.5 metric tons), Renault is continuing its offensive with a brand New TRAFIC and MASTER range that has been available since September 2019 and which sold 141,072 units in 2020. The TRAFIC is a versatile van with a refined interior design and expressive exterior (full LED headlights and light signature) and new
