The automotive industry has accelerated its electric conversion a little too much in recent years. So much so that many brands even announced the dates when they would finally say goodbye to combustion engines. However, consumer interest in electric cars Contrary to expectations, interest decreased instead of increasing. Especially with the end of government incentives and the rise in prices, the momentum of electric car proliferation has seriously slowed down.
This situation led car companies to change their transition plans to electric cars more realistically. The most obvious example of this is the company that announced that it would only sell electric cars from 2030. Mercedes Benz‘s canceled this plan and announced that by 2030 only half of its models would be electric. It seems that Renault’s plan has changed in this way…
In an interview with Automotive News at the Geneva Motor Show, Renault CEO Fabrice Cambolive said their strategy is to have two legs in all car segments. In other words, from small city cars like Twingo to D-segment vehicles like Talisman, Renault, both hybrid cars with combustion engines and fully electric cars plans to launch it.
In fact, Renault said in its 2022 statement that, like Mercedes-Benz, it will only offer fully electric models for sale in Europe from 2030. However, Cambolive states that it is called the “double leg” strategy can continue for another 10 years expressed. This means that plans to sell only electric cars have been postponed until at least 2034.
