About the session
As a major OEM, Renault sees electric vehicles as one of the significant growth sectors for this decade. The Renault-Nissan Alliance is investing 4 billion euros in its zero-emissions programme and a 2,000-strong team (1,000 at Renault, and 1,000 at Nissan) is working on electric vehicle (EV) programmes. This presentation gives the manufacturer's perspective on the marketplace, projected volumes and growth, and the reasons why they believe that the time is now right for EVs to make the transition from niche to mainstream products.
