Renault Group launches futuREady opening a new strategic era

PRESS RELEASEMarch 10, 2026 RENAULT GROUP LAUNCHES futuREady OPENING A NEW STRATEGIC ERA Renault Group is moving into high gear, turning the success story…

“futuREady, our new strategic plan, is a crucial step in the future of Renault Group. In an environment that is even more competitive, we can build on solid fundamentals: our brands, our products and our financial results. Since my appointment as CEO last July, we have been working with the whole team worldwide to develop a plan that will set the Group on the path to robust and sustainable performance, whatever the challenges ahead.

Nine months on, I take great pride in what we have achieved together, set out in our futuREady vision. The plan is based on four pillars. First, growth and products. We plan to launch 36 new models between now and 2030 and substantially transform the customer experience during the lifetime of our vehicles. Second, we will accelerate our technological roadmaps for all key technologies. We will also set highly ambitious goals for operational performance, with the widespread use of AI.

Finally, we will be implementing this plan collectively, as we have done for over 127 years. I am referring here first to our employees, but also to our dealers, partners and suppliers. Together, through futuREady, we will show that we are here for the long term and we will become the reference for the European automotive industry on the global stage.” In a global environment of growing volatility and increased competition, Renault Group is building on strong foundations to approach the next cycle.

With futuREady, Renault Group is seeking to become the reference European carmaker at a global level, building on four fundamental pillars: growth ready, tech ready, excellence ready and trust ready. To achieve this, the Group is maintaining a strong base in Europe, using its platforms to hone its competitive edge and develop products that are even more closely aligned with customer expectations. “ Becoming Europe’s reference carmaker means setting the ambition to design and produce in Europe products that are best in class in terms of desirability, technology and competitiveness.

In an increasingly competitive environment, this means combining performance and innovation with resilience and robust strength. This is what futuREady is all about. At Renault Group, we know where we come from. Today, we know where we want to go, how and who with. And all of this to better serve our customers, ultimately delivering clean, affordable mobility tailored to their needs, based on the strength of our brands and vehicles”.

Renault Group's aim is to successfully complete its second product offensive, with 22 new models in Europe including 16 electric, and 14 models on international markets. The customer experience will play a key role in the strategy deployed by the three brands, as part of the product offensive and throughout the lifecycle of the vehicle. It will become a major driver of differentiation and loyalty.

Every stage in the lifetime of the cars sold must provide strong perceived value for our customers and also become a source of revenue optimisation or profit for the Group and its dealer network, whether we’re talking about new vehicles, aftersales, used vehicles, financing with our captive MFS – Mobilize Financial Services – or energy. Our ambition is to take full advantage of the potential offered by the 2nd and 3rd life of the vehicles, seeking to achieve a customer loyalty rate of 80% over a ten-year cycle by 2030 and the positioning of our brands among the top three in terms of customer satisfaction.

The technological transformation associated with this approach also aims to modernize our distribution system. It will notably include the implementation of a program called software‑defined retail, based on the digitalization of commercial processes and on the vehicle’s digital twin, which is expected to increase efficiency and target a 20% reduction in costs. Electrification, software, digital technology and platforms are the key technological drivers that will enable the Group to compete with the best carmakers.

Engineering plays a key role in developing these technologies. In this area, the Group makes full use of in-house expertise and with our suppliers. This new platform will be developed primarily in France and cut costs by 40% compared with the current generation of electric vehicles. For hybrids (HEV), Renault Group will continue to extend its E-Tech technology beyond 2030 with new versions under 150 hp.

It will also deploy this technology outside Europe, with a significant reduction in cost. This dynamic will build on in-house expertise and strategic partnerships. Renault Group will continue to draw on the expertise of its international network of R&D centres to harness innovations and turn them into real breakthroughs. In an increasingly volatile environment, Renault Group’s ambition is to compete with Chinese vehicle manufacturers in terms of innovation, cost and speed.

This means faster product development, based on a 2-year cycle. All the Group's new projects are now developed with this objective. Agile, resilient and even more efficient, Renault Group is making operational excellence a daily reality across the company, with a long-term commitment to its customers. The Group will focus on performance in the management of variable costs and maintain strict discipline on fixed costs, with a strong emphasis on productivity.

Deployed at all levels, this operational rigour will make it possible to reduce variable costs (COGS) per vehicle by around €400 per year on average, entry tickets of new projects by up to 40% compared to the previous generation, and while keeping SG&A stable over the medium term. Thus, Renault Group will maintain a stable cash fixed‑cost base over the medium term, enabling prudent management of the break-even point.

R&D, Capex and supplier entry tickets spending will remain below 8% of the Group’s revenue.
