Renault has unveiled the innovations for the future, presented within the Renaulution strategic plan. It was Luca de Meo himself, president of the Alliance, who showed how Renault will change from the new logo to the new electric Megane. The “Nouvelle Vague” intends to transform Renault into a manufacturer of technology, services and clean energy, offering more connected living vehicles and more sustainable mobility solutions. In 2021, Renault aims to meet the expectations of responsible, decarbonised, safe and evolving mobility, in line with the needs of users. In Renault Talk # 1, Luca de Meo confirmed the route established for the Losanga brand, at the center of the Renaulution Group’s strategic plan starting from the desire to become the “green” brand in Europe from 2030, with 9 vehicles sold on 10 electrified. Another fundamental point will come from technology, in particular thanks to “Software Republique”. More than 2,000 engineers from 5 leading companies in their respective sectors will bring their skills in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data processing, software and microelectronics to propose turnkey mobility solutions for cities and territories. With Re-Factory, Europe’s first circular economy hub, Renault moves towards a more sustainable and more responsible model, renovating and recycling up to 120,000 vehicles per year (including electric vehicles). About 80% of recycled strategic materials will be reused for new batteries. By 2030, Renault will be the automotive manufacturer with the highest percentage of recycled materials in new vehicles worldwide. News also in the upper segments: by 2025, 7 models will be launched in the C / D segments, all electrified and Arkana marks the beginning of this offensive. The most anticipated novelty will be the future Mégane E-Tech Electric, which inaugurates the new generation of connected and 100% electric vehicles. Finally, E-Tech hybrid technology will continue to evolve to offer maximum efficiency to the next generations of C and D segment vehicles.
New Renault logo
Throughout its history, Renault has evolved its visual identity several times. But there is one thing that hasn’t changed since 1925: the immediately recognizable lozenge, emblematic of the Marca. Created in 1992, the latest version of the Renault emblem was beginning to lose its freshness, despite the reinterpretations of 2015. Essentially, without signature or typogram, the new logo wants to express all the openness and transparency of the French manufacturer. Developed together with the Landor & Fitch agency, it will be progressively applied to Renault vehicles and the network starting next year. By 2024, the entire Renault range will bear the new logo.
