In May 2007, Renault introduced its Renault eco² label – a system for badging its vehicles so that customers can identify the most environmentally friendly versions.
In November 2007, Renault entered an eco²-labelled Logan Concept in the Michelin-organised Challenge Bibendum, demonstrating that a car could be both 'ecological and economical' without stinting on performance or equipment.
Renault has maintained its commitment with the unveiling of TCe 130, Powertrain Engineering’s latest innovation in downsized engines.
Renault’s long-standing efforts have made it one of Europe’s three most carbon-efficient car manufacturers. Its achievements in CO2 reduction are paramount, but it considers that it is just as critical to curb pollutant emissions. The NOx Trap unveiled at the Environment Workshop is proof of its efforts to counter pollution.
Renault has continued its strategy of developing an electric vehicle (EV). In January 2008, the Renault-Nissan Alliance signed an agreement with Project Better Place to mass-market EVs in Israel and Denmark by 2011. Other markets could follow soon after.
In 2006, Renault announced that as part of the Renault Commitment 2009 growth plan it would test vehicles powered by fuel cells derived from the Alliance’s advanced technology. In keeping with that pledge, Renault has now taken the wraps off its EV prototype Scenic ZEV H2, which it plans to test. Powered by a fuel cell, the ZEV H2 emits nothing more harmful than water vapour.
Additional projects further illustrate Renault’s environmental commitment.
There are some simple, everyday steps that motorists can take to reduce their fuel consumption by up to 20%.
For years now Renault has led the way in lifecycle management. In February 2008 it created the Renault Environment Business Unit to support the domestic and international roll-out of action in recycling and new areas of environmental protection. Earlier this year it also signed a contract creating a joint-venture with SITA, a subsidiary of Suez Environnement. This joint-venture, the first of its kind in the world, aims to accelerate the incorporation of end-of-life vehicle (ELV) recycling into operations.
Renault’s manufacturing sites have also kept up their efforts. All have now secured the ISO 14001 environmental certification.
