Renault Group, Number One In Europe For Low CO2 Emissions
Renault Group has become the European leader in terms of low CO2 emissions and the first automotive group to achieve less than 115g of CO2/km, based on its sales of passenger cars over the full year of 2013. This ranking is the result of the rejuvenation of its range, the success of its Energy range of engines and its electric vehicle sales. In Europe, the Renault Group has moved into pole position in terms of low CO2 emissions, with an average of 114.7g of CO2/km per vehicle based on its passenger car sales over the full year of 2013.
It owes this performance to the recent rejuvenation of its range, notably including five models that return less than 100g of CO2/km (Twingo, New Clio, Captur, Mégane and Dacia Sandero). Indeed, in the small 5-seater diesel car sector, the New Clio Energy dCi 90 eco2 is the class leader with 83g of CO2/km. Overall, the New Renault Clio range emits 18.5g of CO2/km less than the model's previous generation.
Meanwhile, Renault’s electric vehicle sales have also contributed significantly to the Group’s low average CO2 emissions. Taken as a whole, the average level of CO2 emissions per kilometre across Renault Group’s entire range has improved by nearly 11g in 2013 over 2012, falling from 125.5g to 114.7g of CO2/km.
“This position of market leader is proof that the combination of our powertrain strategy – with our range of Energy engines – and our electric vehicle strategy is bearing fruit. Thanks to these innovations, Renault Group is achieving tangible results and maintaining its objective to significantly reduce the long-term environmental footprint of its activities. At the same time, these improvements are beneficial for both the planet and our customers.” Jean-Philippe Hermine, Director, Renault Group, Environmental Plan.
