Renault is splitting up its business into five units to grow its profit. This move is part of the Fench automaker’s overhaul plans.
According to Reuters, the Renault Group’s goal is to become a Next-Gen automotive firm built on five centralized businesses. These units are divided to address all the new value chains, including the Ampere EV and software; Alpine high-end zero-emission brand; Mobilize financial firm to enter the new mobility market, data-based services, and energy business; Neutral battery recycling business; and Power hybrid engine technologies under the Renault LCV, Dacia, and Renault brands.
“Today’s announcements are a new sign of the Renault Group team’s determination to prepare the company for the future challenges and opportunities generated by the transformation of our industry,” Renault Group’s chief executive officer, Luca de Meo, said in a press release.
The CEO further said, “After having executed one of the fastest and most unexpected recovery plans, after having prepared the company for growth by securing the development of the best product line-up in decades, we intend to position ourselves faster and stronger than competition on the new automotive value chains: EV, software, new mobility and circular economy.”
Moreover, Renault Group said on Tuesday that its major company revamp will not only see it separating its activities into five businesses, but this move will also magnify its tie-up with China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. This will also allow it to spin off its electric vehicles division via a stock market listing set for next year.
Ahead of the investor presentation this week, the French carmaker said it is targeting an operating margin of eight percent for the year 2025. Then again, its shares dipped by more than four percent while not providing details for any development about its talks with Japan’s Nissan Motor for future partnership deals.
It was mentioned that these business talks only have a week remaining for the companies to negotiate. They must reach a deal before the Nov. 15 deadline, according to insiders who have knowledge of the meetings between the automakers.
