Renault Korea President Nicola Paris announced a domestic action plan under the Renault Group's mid- to long-term strategy, the "futu ready plan." The main goal is to roll out electric models every year by 2029, and to produce next-generation electric vehicles at the Busan plant from 2028.
Production of electric vehicles at Busan plant and establishment of battery supply chain
Renault Korea President Nicolas Paris said in a press conference on the 14th that the company will produce next-generation Renault electric vehicles at its Busan plant from 2028. In addition, it plans to establish a supply chain for electric vehicle batteries in Korea to strengthen production competitiveness. The Busan plant will be fostered as a smart manufacturing hub in the future.
Accelerate SDV launch and new car development
In technology, the company will launch its first software-defined vehicle (SDV) in 2027. President Nicola Paris said she will put considerable effort into the development of the AIDV-based software sector and plans to accelerate the transition to autonomous Level 2++ and AIDV (Artificial Intelligence Defined Vehicle). Through this, the E2E pilot driving function for urban and high-speed driving and the next-generation AI OpenR Panorama system will be gradually developed. In addition, in order to increase the efficiency of new car development, the period from concept decision to production start will be shortened to less than two years.
Expanding the electrification lineup and serving as a global hub
Renault Korea completed the Aurora project with the launch of 'Grand Coleos' in 2024 and 'Philant' in 2026. President Nicola Paris looked full of confidence. He then declared that by 2029, he would introduce one electric model every year, including pure electric vehicles and hybrids (E-Tech). At the end, he stressed the value of Renault Korea, saying, "In addition to India and Latin America, Korea is a key pillar of non-European market growth and serves as a strategic hub for the D/E segment." Meanwhile, the Renault brand has set a target of launching 26 new vehicles in the global market and selling 2 million units annually by 2030.
