OVERVIEW OF RENAULT AND THE GROUP GROUPE RENAULT

Sales of the OROCH were constrained by production capacities in 2020, despite the downturn in markets linked to COVID-19 and its economic fallout. However, the OROCH remained at the top of its segment or took second or third place in most countries (ranked first in Colombia, second in Argentina and Mexico). The Renault OROCH is sold in many regions, including Africa and Asia-Pacific. Groupe Renault's electric range: pioneer and leader in the electric market, Groupe Renault is expanding its product offensive In 2020, the European electric vehicle market enjoyed the fastest growth in the world, with volumes doubling versus 2019, and a new record was set with more than 755,900 electric vehicles sold. Growth in the market for fully electric vehicles is accelerating, with more and more competitors entering the market in all segments. Germany has become the leading electric vehicle market in terms of volumes, with 197,400 units sold and market share of 6.2% in electric vehicles. Norway remains Europe’s leading vehicle market in terms of share of a market in which: two out of every five vehicles sold are electric. France is the second-biggest country in terms of volumes, with 119,700 units and electric vehicles accounting for 5.8% of the overall market. Renault maintains its leadership in Europe thanks to the ZOE’s record sales performance, with 100,815 sales in 2020 for this scope. The Renault ZOE was also the best-selling electric model in Europe in 2020. Groupe Renault’s biggest markets are France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and Spain. The range expands with the launch of the TWINGO Electric. In the electric light commercial vehicle segment: for the tenth consecutive year, the KANGOO Z.E. remains by far P the leader in Europe, with electric segment share of 29.2%. At the end of 2020, cumulative sales of the KANGOO Z.E. in Europe totaled more than 55,000 units. In 2021, the New KANGOO van will take over with its Z.E. versions, bringing improvements and innovations that should continue to convince companies to switch to sustainable mobility for their transport and service activities; with the MASTER Z.E., Renault now offers the widest variety of P versions of large electric vans, with a new chassis-cab version recently and a payload of up to 1,700 kg. The new range offers: the choice between three types of bodies (van, floor-cab, chassis P cab); a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 3.1 or 3.5 metric tons, P allowing a payload of up to 1,700 kg (before transformation); from 8m 3 to 23m 3 of useful volume. P The new offer has been made possible in particular thanks to developments in the electric motor gearbox. The entire MASTER Z.E. range offers an WLTP range of 130 km and a full charge in six hours with the WallBox 32A/7.4 kW. Since it launched its electric program, Renault has sold more than 370,000 electric vehicles in Europe and more than 397,000 worldwide: 284,800 ZOE, 59,150 KANGOO Z.E., 11,400 FLUENCE Z.E./SM3 Z.E., 4,600 K-Z.E., 31,100 TWIZY, 770 MASTER Z.E. and 5,100 TWINGO Electric in 2020.

The Group has reached technical and commercial maturity in this segment thanks to its experience dating back more than 10 years. This offers a competitive advantage over other carmakers. In 2020, Groupe Renault announced several new products: launch of the TWINGO ELECTRIC to round out the range for urban use and presentation of the DACIA SPRING, which promises to be the most affordable offer on the market to open up electric mobility for all. Through the MEGANE eVISION show car, the Group is also announcing the arrival of an offer in the C segment. To facilitate the use of electric vehicles, Renault continues to develop innovative connected services. The MyRenault app brings together all the connected services linked to the electric vehicle so as to support the customer’s day-to-day experience. This app also ushers in new services such as a trip planner factoring in charging needs and time, and the real-time availability of nearby charging stations. Renault is also committed to ecosystem development that promotes – and is encouraged by – the widespread roll-out of electric mobility. For example, the Group has set up solutions with its partners that allow used batteries to be reused for different applications: stationary energy storage, which allows better integration of renewable energies in the energy mix, or even maritime use by electrifying boats going up and down the Seine. The transformation of the Flins plant into a center of excellence in the circular economy is another example of Groupe Renault’s determination to promote the development of sustainable mobility. The Dacia brand: a focus on the basics A Groupe Renault brand since 1998, Dacia was founded in Romania in 1968 to manufacture Renault models under license for the local market. Revived with the LOGAN in 2004, the Dacia brand is now present in 44 countries, mainly in Europe and the Mediterranean region. The first Dacia vehicle sold outside Romania, the LOGAN was the result of close collaboration between the Romanian engineering teams and those based at the Renault Technocentre. From the outset, the program broke with automotive industry practice by rethinking the entire production chain based on cost constraints. This equation has made – and continues to make – the brand a success. With the launch of the SANDERO and then the DUSTER, Dacia has confirmed its boldness and ability to shake up the codes by offering spacious, practical and robust new cars at the best value for money in the market. Drawing on proven and amortized technologies, the vehicles’ equipment and features are kept to a strict minimum, and are easy to use and maintain. Dacia’s commercial offering (equipment, price policy) makes the purchase as simple as possible. A large proportion of Dacia customers come from the used vehicle market and are accessing a new vehicle for the first time. However, Dacia is also attracting a new type of consumer who is choosing to consume in a different, more thoughtful way. This behavior expresses itself as a lesser degree of interest in the race for technological innovation and a focus on only the best of what automobiles have to offer: the freedom to move. In fact, the positioning of the Dacia brand is based on the idea of serving the basic needs of all these pragmatic customers, who want to pay a fair price for what they need, without foregoing any modern features.
