On March 26, Renault announced that in France it aims to reduce energy consumption per vehicle produced by 40% by 2025 compared to 2021, and by 30% globally, with a further 50% reduction targeted by 2025. Already, a 20% reduction has been achieved across all plants by the end of 2023, bringing consumption to 1.58 MWh/Veh compared to 2.00 MWh/Veh in 2021.
The objective is to cut carbon dioxide emissions per vehicle by 80% by 2030 compared to 2019. Renault Group collaborates with partners like Iberdrola in Spain and COMERC ENERGIA in Brazil, where one of the world's largest solar farms covers 85% of energy needs. Spain's electricity production is fully sourced from photovoltaic farms, while in Turkey, waste heat recovery systems are operational, with plans for Spain by 2025.
These solutions, tailored to each plant's needs, encompass geothermal, methanization, and connection to heating networks, reflecting Renault's commitment to sustainable energy practices.
