Renault e Bolloré form a partnership in electric vehicles

Following the letter of intent signed in September 2013, French groups Renault and Bolloré are joining forces to promote electric vehicles as part of three agreements relating to:

- industrial cooperation: the Renault plant in Dieppe (Normandy, France) will assemble Bluecar electric vehicles for the Bolloré Group from secondhalf 2015;

- the founding of a jointventure to sell complete electric carsharing solutions in France and Europe;

- a feasibility survey, commissioned by the Bolloré group to the Renault Group, on design, development and production by Renault of a new urban electric vehicle with a 20 kWh lithium metal polymer (LMP) battery.

The development of electric vehicles is key to address environmental issues, particularly air quality and mobility in towns and cities.
