Renault’s ‘futuREady’ Sets 36-Model Push by 2030 as India-Built Bridger Targets 2027 Launch

New 800‑volt platforms and strict cost and development targets are designed to accelerate affordable EVs and expand Renault’s global reach.

Overview

  • Renault Group formally outlined its futuREady strategy, committing to 36 new models by 2030 across Renault, Dacia and Alpine, with a 2 million annual-sales goal and half of volumes outside Europe.
  • The plan centers on the RGEV Medium 2.0 800‑volt EV platform, with company claims of ultra‑fast 10–80% charging in about 10 minutes by 2030 and ranges up to 750 km, or 1,400 km with a range extender.
  • Cost and speed targets include about a 40% cut in EV production costs, roughly 30% fewer parts and development cycles narrowed to around 24 months, supported by software‑defined architectures and OTA updates.
  • Dacia will add four pure EVs by 2030 and debut a sub‑€18,000 urban electric model later in 2026, as the brand targets roughly two‑thirds of sales from electrified models by the end of the decade.
  • India is named a major hub with four models to be designed and assembled locally by 2030; the sub‑4m Bridger—offered in petrol, hybrid and electric forms—is slated to launch first in India by late 2027 and, per new reporting, could keep the Bridger name in production before expanding to export markets.
