“Today’s
announcements are a new
sign of Renault
Group
team’s
determination
to prepare
the company
for the future
challenges and
opportunities generated
by the
transformation
of our industry.
After having
executed
one of the
fastest and
unexpected
recovery
plans, after
having prepared
the company for
growth by
securing the
development
of the best
product
line-up
in
decades,
we intend to
position
ourselves faster
and stronger
than
competition
on the new
automotive value
chains:
EV,
software,
new
mobility and
circular
economy.
We focus
full-fledged
teams on each of
the automotive and mobility value
chains. We design an
agile and innovative
organization to
manage the
volatility and
fast technological
evolution of our
times.
Speed,
accountability,
transparency, and
specialization
for excellence are the key
words.
Renault
Group
is one
team of
teams,
benefiting from
simplified
governance and
digital management
platforms boosting
collaboration
and breaking
silos
typical
of traditional
organizations.
Allocating
up to 10%
of the capital to
our
employees,
will contribute to foster a
new common
culture oriented to
value
creation.
We believe also
in cooperation
when it comes to
invest,
create and
scale new
businesses and
technologies.
This is the core of our horizontal
approach, and
the network of
leading partners
that are
participating in
our different
projects,
is the
proof of
the quality of
our
initiatives.
All this is
one of
the most
progressive
re-engineering
projects of the recent
years in our
industry,
a Revolution in
its
kind." said
Luca de Meo,
Chief Executive
Officer of Renault Group.
“What the Group has
achieved in terms of financial turnaround in just 2 years is
outstanding and we will not stop here. We are bringing our
non-negotiable fundamentals – value over volume, competitiveness,
and capital efficiency – to the next level. This new corporate
architecture will allow us to improve our financial performance,
targeting benchmark profitability, free cash-flow generation and
return on capital employed. By
addressing structurally more profitable
value chains, it will
transform our business
mix and create value. Powered by
the focus on growing and cash generating businesses, our plan is
ambitious but also realistic in the light of the current
macroeconomic context. The Renaulution
plan foundation is self-financed but will be accelerated by
external fundings and partnerships enabling the access to key value
chains, to boost growth and innovation while reducing capital
requirements. All in all, the Revolution is also financial and aims
at creating value for all our stakeholders as illustrated by our
dividend policy and our target to reinforce employee
shareholding.” said
Thierry Piéton,
Chief Financial
Officer of Renault Group.
Boulogne-Billancourt, November 8, 2022
Following approval by the Board of Directors
held on November 7, 2022 under the chairmanship
of Jean-Dominique Senard, Luca de Meo, CEO of Renault Group
and Thierry Piéton, CFO of Renault Group, present today, during its
Capital Market Day, the third chapter of its Renaulution
strategy.
Until now, carmakers were evolving in an
environment of mature ICE technology and stable customer
expectations. The ongoing transformations, reshaping the automotive
industry, are driving the emergence of additional value chains:
electric vehicles (EV), software, new mobility services, and
circular economy.
Today, after Resurrection and Renovation, the
first two phases of the Renaulution strategic plan presented in
January 2021, Renault Group opens the third chapter: it launches
its Revolution with the ambition to become a
Next Gen
automotive company.
This new set-up will allow Renault Group to
capture value across all the new profit pools (estimated by
external institutions at ~€220 billion in 2030 vs €110 billion
today). To seize opportunities in these markets and to adapt to
today’s environment, Renault Group creates full-fledged and focused
organizations. It will transform its business mix by harnessing
structurally more profitable value chains. Renault Group leverages
a horizontal and ecosystemic approach to co-create, co-finance and
scale strategic initiatives with leading partners.
Now, Revolution
The guiding principles of this value driven and
ecosystemic approach are:
-
Strategic focus
-
Effectiveness
-
Smart capital allocation
-
Best partners selection
-
Asset-light by design
Renault Group is operating its own Revolution by
creating 5 focused businesses with specialized teams, each built on
a homogeneous set of technologies, with their own
governance and P&L.
These businesses are:
-
Ampere: the first EV & Software pure player
born from an OEM disruption
-
Alpine: a high-end zero-emission global brand with
a racing pedigree. A unique asset-light model combined with
proprietary technologies
-
Mobilize: built around a leading financial
services company to enter the market of new mobility, energy and
data-based services
-
The Future Is NEUTRAL: the first 360° circular
economy company in the automotive industry from closed loop in
materials to battery recycling
-
Power: the traditional core business of Renault
Group will continue to develop innovative low emissions ICE &
hybrid vehicles under the Renault, Dacia and Renault LCV brands,
each with their dedicated organization and governance
Power: innovative low
emissions ICE & hybrid vehicles
ICE & hybrid vehicles will still represent
up to 50% of passenger cars sales worldwide even by 2040.
Developing efficient technologies in that field remains key for the
future of any global OEM. Therefore, Renault Group is ensuring the
further development of its core business, with the launch of a
totally new range of Renault ICE & Hybrid (passenger cars),
Dacia and LCV – and with the creation of a worldwide supplier,
leader in ICE & hybrid powertrain technologies.
Renault Group will combine its ICE
& hybrid powertrain technologies
(Horse project) together with Geely
to create a worldwide leading
supplier
Renault Group and Geely will combine their ICE
in a 50-50 entity. This dedicated business will design, develop,
produce, and sell all ICE & hybrid powertrain components and
systems with state-of-the-art technologies. Day 1, the entity will
have a turnover of over €15 billion and a volume of 5 million units
per year, already serving 8 customers who will benefit of increased
synergies and productivity.
This entity will be full-fledged and global,
with:
-
17 plants supplying 130 countries
-
5 R&D centers in Europe (Spain, Romania and Sweden), China, and
South America for a total of 3,000 engineers
-
A total of 19,000 employees, across 3 continents
It will offer a complete portfolio of
technologies on all components: engine, gearbox, xHEV systems and
batteries at best level. Thanks to this project, Renault Group will
double both its scale and market coverage from 40% to 80%
worldwide. This growth will be fueled by geographical expansion,
with access to North America and China, and by products
complementarity to come up with complete low emissions systems and
solutions for OEMs. To do that, it will develop its technology
portfolio in the field of alternative fuels seeking for cooperation
with a potential partner from the energy industry.
Renault brand ICE
&
Hybrid:
globally uplifted
Even with the sharp rise of the EV offer, the
combustion engine vehicles will still continue to grow especially
outside of Europe. Thus, Renault brand will remain present on ICE
& hybrid markets, especially in Latin America, India, South
Korea and North Africa. Renault ICE & Hybrid passenger cars
sales will keep growing 2% per year on average over 2022-2030.
To uplift the brand in all geographies, Renault
will continue its C-segment offensive and will grow by 20% its net
revenue, while expanding its contribution margin by 30% between
2022 and 2030.
Dacia: growing
from >10% operating margin
to 15% by 2030
Dacia’s model is unique, built upon the
combination of three main components:
-
An engineering focus on design-to-cost already providing a solid
double-digit cost advantage
-
A unique industrial and sourcing footprint with a benchmark cost
competitiveness
-
An asset-light distribution model ensuring costs comparable to
agency model
-
85% retail channel mix
As a consequence, Dacia already generates an
operating margin above 10%, and aims to reach 15% by 2030.
To achieve this ambition, Dacia, currently a
B-segment champion will boldly enter the C-segment. After Jogger
this year, Dacia Bigster will embody this move and 2 other vehicles
will follow, allowing Dacia to double its profit pool coverage. In
parallel, Dacia will also keep lowering costs and will benefit from
the doubling of the volume of the global CMF-B platform across
brands which will reach 2 million units by 2030.
Dacia will contribute to reinvent the ICE value
chain through the cooperation with Horse project by developing
breakthrough powertrains adaptation for alternative & synthetic
fuels. Dacia will smoothly transition to EV in Europe by pioneering
affordable EV solutions.
LCV: propelled into the future by two
game changers
Renault Group’s LCV business relies on solid
foundations with over 5 million vehicles in European car park, an
ecosystem of over 600 dedicated Pro+ dealers, 4 plants and the most
up-to-date line-up by 2026.
Renault LCV will develop two game changing
projects to address a dynamic and changing market:
-
Hyvia: the Group’s joint-venture with Plug for
carbon-free hydrogen mobility offers a complete ecosystem, from
fuel cells vehicles, to electrolyzers, to hydrogen refueling. It
combines Plug’s H2 expertise with Renault Group’s industrial and
engineering assets. Hyvia aims for 30% of the hydrogen-powered LCV
market by 2030, in Europe and a cumulated order intake of €1
billion by 2026.
-
FlexEVan: a game changing EV & software
defined family of vans to be deployed on the market from 2026.
FlexEVan will be compact for urban use thanks to a specially
designed EV platform. FlexEVan will benefit from the SDV developed
within Ampere. The vehicle will thus become a fully connected
warehouse extension, integrated into the customer's digital
ecosystem. It will be the first vehicle to benefit from the
application of the software-defined vehicle technology at Renault
Group, allowing notably for real-time, end-to-end operations
monitoring and data-driven fleet management. FlexEVan will reduce
the total lifecycle cost of usage for the clients by at least 30%,
i.e. more than the price of the van. To support the development of
FlexEVan, Renault Group intends to create Flexis,
a partnership with a relevant partner having experience in the
sector and a complementary activity. Thanks to this partnership,
developments will be shared, meaning a significant decrease in
costs and a maximization of customers coverage.
Ampere: the
1st EV and
software pure player
born from an OEM
disruption
With Ampere, Renault Group is creating a
standalone company that will be the 1st EV and software pure player
born from an OEM disruption. Ampere will develop, manufacture, and
sell full EV passenger cars, with cutting-edge software-defined
vehicle (SDV) technology, under the Renault brand. Ampere will
bring the best of both worlds: know-how and assets from Renault
Group with the focus and agility of an EV pure player.
Based in France, Ampere will be a full-fledged
OEM with around 10,000 employees. As a tech company, Ampere will
drive innovation with around 3,500 engineers, half of them
specialized in software.
Before 2030, Ampere’s line-up of 6 electric cars
will be ideally positioned on the fastest-growing segments in
Europe covering 80% of the EV mainstream profit pool: the B segment
with the new Renault 5 Electric and Renault 4 Electric, and the C
segment with Megane E-tech Electric, Scénic Electric and 2 other
vehicles to be revealed. A large portion of the investments of the
first 4 vehicles has already been spent.
Ampere targets to produce around 1 million EVs
for the Renault brand in 2031. Ampere is a growth story, with above
30% of compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the 10 years to
come.
Ampere relies on 3 tech backbones making it
unique in the EV and software ecosystem:
-
A high-tech and
top-competitive
manufacturing footprint: ElectriCity, already one
of the major and most competitive EV production poles in Europe: in
2025, a vehicle will be produced in less than 10 hours. 400k units
production capacity from day 1, scalable to 1 million leveraging
other Renault Group facilities, ElectriCity also offers a unique
local ecosystem with 80% of the suppliers within 300km
-
A European EV
value chain: Ampere is partnering with the most
relevant players to access to know-how, to secure sustainable
supply and to gain visibility and control on costs and performance.
Thanks to its European-based supply chain, Ampere will secure the
supply for more than 80 GWh required for its cars by 2030. From 10%
coverage of the EV value chain in 2020, it is now above 30% and
will reach 80% by 2030
-
A breakthrough
Software-Defined
Vehicle (SDV)
technology: SDV is the future of the automotive
industry, allowing the car to be constantly upgradable throughout
its lifecycle, learning from its users, and keeping the vehicle
linked from cradle to grave to the OEM. To launch its first open
and horizontal SDV in 2026, Renault Group has built deep
partnerships with 2 major tech players:
-
Qualcomm Technologies to co-develop high-performance computing
platforms based on Snapdragon Digital® Chassis™ solutions for the
Centralized Electronic Architecture. This includes System on Chip
and low layers software in addition to features, in-car services
and applications. Qualcomm Technologies, or one of its
affiliates, intends to invest in the Renault Group's dedicated
electric and software company Ampere
-
Google with whom the collaboration includes an Android-based
platform for Software-Defined Vehicle and cloud software to enable
a SDV digital twin
Building the SDV in a horizontal way is unique
in the entire industry. It reduces development time and cost.
Partnering with Google to create this open platform based on
Android allows Ampere to leverage one of the world’s largest global
ecosystem of third-party apps developers. They will come up with a
variety of services that will enrich the user experience while
accelerating the development of features through the lifetime of
the vehicle.
These partnerships will enable Renault Group to
reduce costs, improve efficiency, flexibility and speed of vehicle
developments, and increase value for end-users thanks to continuous
software innovation and updates.
Alpine: a high-end zero-emission global brand with a
racing pedigree
Over the past two years, Alpine has had a
rebirth, capitalizing on its iconic A110 sports coupé and on its
entry into Formula 1, where it aims to become a championship
contender. Today, Alpine is a true high-end brand, a full-fledged
OEM, asset-light, tech focused, a team of 2,000 people, of which
50% are engineers. Being part of the Group ensures Alpine access to
Ampere EV and Software technological assets. Looking forward,
Alpine will leverage commercial partnerships and investors support
to accelerate its growth and international expansion.
Alpine is developing a brand-new line-up that
will fuel its growth and international ambitions. It will be
full-electric from 2026. By then, Alpine will also reveal the next
A110, and 2 new models: a B-hatchback and a C+ crossover.
Alpine then plans to launch two D and E segments cutting-edge cars
to support its international expansion. As a result, we expect half
of Alpine’s growth to come from new markets beyond Europe including
potentially North America and China.
Mobilize:
built around a leading financial services
company to enter
the market of new mobility, energy and data-based
services
Mobilize is built around a core asset, Mobilize
Financial Services (MFS), one of the best financial services
providers on the market with 4 million of customers. MFS will
expand its traditional business while developing new businesses
such as subscription, insurance, and operational leasing.
Mobilize is set to become a leading and
profitable Vehicle-as-a-Service (VaaS) dedicated provider,
combining financial, mobility, energy and data-based services
supported by purpose-designed vehicles. These services, aggregated
in a one-stop-shop solution, will serve the needs of retail
customers, fleets and mobility operators while generating recurring
revenue. What makes Mobilize different from any other automotive
brand is that it comes from the services to the product and not the
other way around. Thanks to the VaaS model, Mobilize will generate
3 times more revenue during the whole vehicle lifecycle, compared
to classic sales.
The Future Is NEUTRAL: the first 360°
circular economy company in the automotive industry from
closed-loop in materials
to battery recycling
To materialize its commitment to circular
economy and to move towards resources neutrality, Renault Group
announced on October 13th the creation of a new company: The Future
Is NEUTRAL. Bringing together all the existing expertise of the
Group and its partners in this activity, this new entity offers
closed-loop recycling solutions at each stage of a vehicle's life:
supply of parts and raw materials, production, usage and end of
life. From around 50% of value chain coverage today, The Future Is
NEUTRAL aims to reach above 90% by 2030. It is set to become the
European leader at industrial scale in the closed-loop automotive
circular economy. It will service Renault Group as well as the
entire industry. In order to accelerate its development and
strengthen its leadership, The Future Is NEUTRAL is opening up
a minority of its capital to outside investors with the objective
of to co-finance investments of around €500 million until 2030.
ESG: a performance lever for Renault Group
The Group’s Revolution will see an acceleration
of its ESG trajectory representing a key driver for the operating
and financial performance of the Group.
The business re-engineering of Renault Group
will enable it to become a front-runner in the quest for carbon
neutrality and inclusive future.
On the climate front, the Group aims for
carbon neutrality in Europe in 2040 and
worldwide by 2050, adopting a
cradle to grave approach. The Group has set
intermediate carbon footprint reduction targets to lead the way,
with specific action plans for each of its businesses.
Each business has its own ESG objectives, all of
them benefitting to the Group ESG targets:
Power |
Ampere |
Alpine |

|
In regards with the Renault Group’s tradition of
social responsibility, it will accompany the transition, upskilling
& reskilling of thousands of people towards the new value
chains of the automotive revolution. As an example, with ReKnow
University, open to the entire industry, 15,000 Renault Group’s
employees and 4,500 students and suppliers will be trained by 2025
to future auto industry skills in electric mobility, circular
economy, software and cybersecurity & data.
Cash talks
The Group’s re-engineering along 5 businesses
will be directly reflected in its financial reporting to improve
simplicity, accountability and transparency, both internally and
externally. The performances of these 5 businesses will continue to
build on the financial discipline implemented during the
Resurrection phase. The Group’s levers – value over volume,
competitiveness and capital efficiency – will be further
accelerated respectively by its new products offensive, a strong
focus on variable costs, sustainable supplier network development
and digitization. And furthermore, a unique ecosystemic partnership
approach will extend the coverage of key value chains with a low
capital intensity bias.
To face current industry unprecedented
transformation challenge, Renault Group developed an approach based
on two principles:
-
A self-financed plan, secured by strong free cash-flow generation
from its businesses
-
Partnerships or external funding to accelerate growth, innovation
or competitiveness and reduce capital requirements
Ampere: low cash-burn & external
funding
Renault Group wishes to accelerate Ampere’s
future development and propel Renault brand into its electric
future without drawing heavily on the Group’s financial resources.
In this context, the Group envisages external partners and
investors to embark on the journey with assumptions as follows:
-
Established EV player with limited cash burn. Free cash-flow above
0 in 2025
-
Open to external investors to accelerate R&D and ecosystem
development
-
Alliance scale (Renault Group, Nissan, Mitsubishi Motors): equity
participation under study
-
Envisaged IPO on Euronext Paris earliest H2 2023 (subject to market
conditions) with Renault Group keeping strong majority and the
support of potential strategic cornerstone investors (including
Qualcomm Technologies)
Horse project:
financially optimizing the ICE
& hybrid powertrain
future
From a financial standpoint, Horse project aims
at providing productivity gains, fixed costs reduction and
significant Group’s balance sheet improvement. Renault Group will
keep 50% of the entity, a level which would lead to the
deconsolidation of this activity from Renault Group’s scope and
financial statements, starting from H2 2023.
The carve-out impacts are estimated as
follows:
-
€2.5 billion fixed assets reduction
-
€1.2 billion fixed costs variabilization, per year on average and
€2.4 billion reduction in R&D and Capex from 2023 to 2030
-
Powertrain cost competitiveness: €2.5 billion from 2023-2030.
Positive impact as early as 2024
-
A dividend stream corresponding to Renault Group retained
ownership
-
A potential future capital gain

Reinstating the dividend
Renault Group plans to restore dividend payment
from 2023 (for the 2022 full year – pending Shareholders’ General
Meeting approval). This dividend symbolizes a new era and then will
gradually grow in a disciplined manner up to 35% payout ratio of
Group consolidated net income – parent share, in the mid-term. To
do so, the Group must achieve its first priority which is to turn
back to an investment grade rating.
Capital allocation policy:
implementing a balanced capital
allocation
Renault Group aims at using at least 50% of the
excess cash generated to reinvest in the Group. Looking forward,
Renault Group intends to be more active on financial investments,
in line with its ecosystemic approach, but limiting them to maximum
15% to 20% of its free cash-flow.
For the remaining cash allocation, aside from
dividend, the Group wishes to associate its employees to its
performance to foster a common sense of belonging to the project
and nurture a culture of value. Through dedicated employees’
shareholding programs, it ambitions to see the employee
shareholding portion grow to 10% of the Group capital by 2030.
Existing bonds will remain under Renault SA, the
issuer of the industrial activities of the Group. Each business
could use financing instruments depending on its own needs and
strategy.
Alliance
Renault Group, Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors are
currently engaged in discussions to jointly address the new
challenges and opportunities driving the future of the automotive
industry, which include:
