Boulogne-Billancourt, January 20, 2026
“The Group’s commercial results reflect the alignment between our value-oriented product plan, disciplined commercial policy and consistent strategy. This year, international performance complements our European growth and the complementarity of our brands and technologies is a strength enabling us to meet evolving needs of customers” said Fabrice Cambolive, Chief Growth Officer of Renault Group. “Our two-legs powertrain strategy is now deployed across the Group: Renault is a best-in-class generalist brand in terms of CO₂ emissions, with two-thirds of its sales electrified (EV and HEV), while Dacia is accelerating in hybrid. The ability to combine strong commercial performance with electrification is driven by two true game changers: our hybrid technologies, simultaneously meeting customer needs and CO2 regulation targets and our 100% EV platforms, which enhance product appeal and sales. “
