Groupe Renault partners with WWF France

Groupe Renault has partnered with World Wildlife Fund France (WWF France) to develop intelligent electric ecosystems and mobility services.

This joint desire forms around a common vision – tomorrow’s mobility will be achieved through the transition from fossil cars to a more sustainable, shared and electric mobility. Sustainable mobility includes car sharing, ride-sharing and carpooling.

Groupe Renault has set itself a goal to reduce its carbon footprint by 25% between 2010 to 2022, and to propose eight models of EVs by 2022.

For the past three years WWF France has been committed to accelerating the transition of mobility through its ‘avoid, shift, improve’ paradigm.

Both groups have conducted a first study on the island of Porto Santo in Portugal to best the synergies between the development of electric vehicles and their services to the grid. Various experiments related to EVs will be carried out.

“Together, we believe through this partnership that this transition must involve more electric, shared and renewable energy-based forms of mobility,” WWF France conservation co-director Pierre Cannet says. “This partnership contributes to WWF France’s vision: to move less, better and differently in relation to an ecosystem of mobility solutions to be developed at large scale (public transportation, biking and active modes as well as EVs).”
