Renault aims to stop selling fuel-only cars in Europe by 2030

"By 2030, the brand is aiming for... 100 percent electrified sales in Europe and 50 percent outside Europe, which includes hybrid vehicles. The group envisages releasing 22 new models in Europe, including 16 electric ones, and 14 models on international markets."

"The company said it plans to develop its new electric car platform together with Google. It will also be the first carOS co-developed with the partner Google, based on Android. The aim is to have 90 percent of the vehicle functions able to be updated remotely, cutting time to deploy updates, and able to handle ultra-fast charging in as little as 10 minutes."

"Renault chief executive Francois Provost said the company's ambition for the coming years is to design and produce in Europe products that are best‑in‑class in terms of desirability, technology and competitiveness. Renault's strategy is in stark contrast to that of its rival Stellantis, which stunned investors with a massive 22-billion-euro write-down of its EV operations."

Renault unveiled a strategic plan to phase out simple internal combustion engine vehicles in Europe by 2030, aiming for 100% electrified sales in Europe and 50% outside Europe by that year. The company targets a 23% increase in Renault brand vehicle sales to two million annually by 2030. Currently, 40% of European sales remain fossil fuel-powered. Renault plans to release 22 new models in Europe, including 16 electric vehicles, and expand Dacia's electric range from one to four models. The company will develop its new electric platform with Google, featuring a co-developed carOS based on Android. The platform will enable 90% of vehicle functions to update remotely and support ultra-fast 10-minute charging. This strategy contrasts sharply with competitor Stellantis, which recently took a $25 billion write-down on EV operations.
