Creo que es una decisión que están tomando todas las marcas para cumplir la normativa anticontaminación. Todo lo nuevo que está llegando es más ligero que su predecesor.
Toca reducir peso y obtener mejor aerodinámica
El nuevo motor 1.2 energytce 130cv (ya puesto en los hilos del Megane y Scenic)
nota de prensa, en ingléshttp://i46.tinypic.com/16k1jsz.jpg Continuing the renewal of its range of downsized engines, Renault welcomes its ninth Energy engine. Designated Energy TCe 130, this petrol new engine is a more powerful derivative of the Renault Energy TCe 115 and takes over from the former 1.4-litre TCe 130. It is due to go on sale in April under the bonnet of New Mégane, New Scénic and New Grand Scénic.
Energy TCe 130: a 1.2 turbo petrol engine tailored for the open road
With a power output of 130hp at 5,000rpm and peak torque of 205Nm at as low as 2,000rpm, this 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine is equipped with latest-generation direct injection and offers the performance of a normally-aspirated two-litre powerplant, making it ideal for use on major roads.
Thanks to the Energy technologies it employs, some of which are
derived from Renault’s F1 experience, its fuel consumption represents a saving of between 15 and 20 per cent – depending on models – compared with the engine it replaces, which equates to more than one litre saved for every 100km covered.
This responsive and extremely smooth new engine picks up eagerly from low revs, making it a pleasure to drive. At the same time, it is easy to forget thanks to its silent operation and unobtrusive ultra-rapid Stop&Start system.Fuel savings of more than 1L/100 km and CO2 emissions reduced by up to 20%
In addition to standing out as the market’s highest-performing 1.2 litre petrol engine, the Renault Energy TCe 130 also shines when it comes to making savings at the pump thanks to a reduction in fuel consumption of 20%*compared with the TCe 130. The Energy TCe 130 version of New Scénic Xmod returns combined-cycle fuel consumption of just 6.2 litres/100km*, while that of New Mégane Hatchback with the same engine is 5.4 litres/100km*, an improvement of more than 1 L for every 100km travelled. That equates to CO2 emissions of only 124g/km* for New Mégane Hatchback (down 29g/km) and 140g/km*in the case of Scénic Xmod.
Running costs have consequently been reduced significantly, while the lower CO2 emissions allow customers in some countries to benefit from state subsidies or tax incentives. At the same time, servicing has been facilitated by an oil-change interval of 30,000km (with ecological oil filter) and lifetime timing chain. Made for the open road, this 1.2 litre petrol turbo engine stands comparison with diesel power for annual distances
travelled of up to 25,000km or 30,000km (based on French statistics).Packed with technologies
The Renault Energy TCe 130 benefited from a particularly thorough acoustic refinement process, the result being a smooth, muted sound profile, even at high engine speeds.
The engine features the same technical specifications as the Energy TCe 115 petrol engine. Features like direct fuelinjection, turbocharging, an integrated turbo manifold and variable valve timing combine to deliver maximum torque at low revs and ensure the availability of torque across a broad effective rpm range. Fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber for optimum efficiency as a function of the running conditions, the advantage for the customer being
valuable fuel savings and reduced CO2 emissions.Enfin le Energy TCe 130 bénéficie d’un Stop&Start avec démarrage ultra-rapide. Le système détecte la position exacte des pistons et injecte le carburant dans le cylindre le plus favorable à une mise en action instantanée du moteur. L’énergie « gratuite » stockée grâce au système de récupération d’énergie au freinage est utilisée pour recharger la batterie et assurer les redémarrages.
The Energy TCe 130 engine is equipped with a Stop&Start with ultra-rapid restart. Sensors in the system detect the precise position of each piston and inject fuel into the cylinder that is best placed to restart the engine instantaneously. The ‘free’ energy recovered and stored under braking is used to charge the battery and restart the engine.
* Homologated fuel consumption and emission values in accordance with appropriate legislation.http://www.renault.com/en/innovation/gamme-mecanique/pages/energy-tce-130.aspx [size size=150]Renault presentará 2 concept en el festival de Goodwood (11 al 14 de Julio)[/size]
Llevará muchos modelos, pero entre ellos, 2 concepts. Uno de gasolina y otro electrico
http://www.worldcarfans.com/113032255543/renault-confirms-two-new-concepts-for-goodwood nota de prensa, en inglés
RENAULT AT THE 2013 GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEEDThis year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed sees Renault following its substantial 2012 appearance with a celebration of its highly successful, 35-year long commitment to Formula 1, the revival of the famous Alpine sports car brand and the showcasing of an exciting array of new road cars, including two yet-to-be-seen concept models. The event will be held from 11th to 14th July in the grounds of Goodwood House, 60 miles south of London.
Landmark vehicles from Renault’s sporting heritage include the 1978 RS01 that was the first turbo F1 car, the sensational 1978 Le Mans-winning Alpine A442B, the stylish 1977 Groupe 5 Alpine A310 rally car, the enormous and extraordinary-looking 1926 Renault 40CV ‘des records’, a 1902 Renault Type K that was one of the world’s earliest racing cars, and the dramatic Renault 5 Maxi Turbo of 1984.
Making their UK debut at Goodwood, and guaranteed to draw crowds, will be two new sports concept cars, one of which will be 100% electric
Besides these surprises Renault’s main Goodwood stand will showcase the four examples of Renault RS27-powered F1 cars from the 2013 championship, including the race-winning Lotus E21, the Red Bull RB9, the Caterham CT03 and the Williams FW35, as well as an array of exciting new road cars. These include the much-anticipated Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo EDC, the handsome new Renault Captur crossover and the stylish Renault ZOE.
Renault is bringing famous drivers too, including legendary four times F1-championship winner Alain Prost, Monte Carlo rally winner Jean Ragnotti, and Susie Wolff.
Goodwood: Racing through time and a country house garden
Renault has long been an enthusiastic participant in the Goodwood Festival of Speed, appearing on six consecutive occasions from 2001 to 2006, before making a comeback in 2012 after a five-year break. The company’s 2013 appearance coincides with the 20th anniversary of this now world-famous and much-loved event, and promises to be one of the most eye-catching yet.
Held in the grounds of Goodwood House, an elegant and historic country residence nestling amid England’s picturesque South Downs, the Festival provides the startling sight of racing cars charging through its bucolic grounds, the house’s driveway turned into a dramatic, challenging and rather beautiful hillclimb venue.
Racing cars and Goodwood have been synonymous for decades, the first motorsport event occurring in 1936 when the ninth Duke of Richmond organised a hillclimb through the house’s grounds. World War 2 brought this pursuit to a close, but also saw the construction of a nearby airfield whose perimeter road would eventually be turned into the famous Goodwood circuit. The first race was held in 1948 and the last in 1966, and when the Charles Gordon-Lennox, the current Earl of March and a major car enthusiast was prevented from reviving races at the circuit, he decided to stage his own Festival of speed in the grounds of Goodwood House. The first event attracted 30,000 visitors, and it now draws 180,000, many considering it the finest motoring event in Britain.
Besides the hillclimb there is also a concours d’elegance, a pavilion of concept cars and technical exhibits of the future, an air display, events for younger visitors and much more. A highlight of the event remains the paddock, where fans can stand mere inches from some of the most famous racing cars in history and better still, meet their drivers.
RENAULT – 115 years of history, underpinned with a unique commitment and passion for Motor Sport
Renault has raced for almost as long as the company has been alive. In 1902 a Renault Type K won its first victory in the Paris-to-Vienna road race, propelled by a four cylinder engine producing slightly more than 40 horsepower. It beat the more powerful Mercedes and Panhard racers because they broke down, proving very early on that to finish first, first you have to finish. In the same year Renault patented the turbocharger, something it had not forgotten when in 1977 it was the first manufacturer to race a turbocharged Formula One car. The RS01 was initially nicknamed the ‘Yellow Teapot’ by amused rival teams, but intensive development eventually saw it scoring fourth place in the 1978 US Grand Prix, and a pole position the following year. Within three years of the Yellow Teapot’s arrival most rival teams were also using turbochargers.
Although today’s Renault RS27-2013 engine is a normally aspirated V8, as required by the regulations, from 2014 it will be replaced by a highly advanced, downsized 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 featuring a pair of powerful energy recuperation systems that feed twin electric motors. These include an Energy Recovery System (ERS-K) that harvests Kinetic energy, and a second Energy Recovery System (ERS-H) that captures Heat. The aim is to deliver the same power as the 2013 V8 engine delivers using a V6 turbo and twin electric motors, to use 40percent less fuel.
Developing competitive power outputs while using less fuel is precisely the goal Renault is striving for in the road car world, the 2014 F1 rules perfectly matching a powertrain strategy founded on the company’s unrivalled commitment to electric motors, coupled to the intensive development of the internal combustion engine . The aim? Spectacular fuel consumption, and major CO2 efficiency gains. A drop of fuel means as much on the track as it does on the road, and Renault’s expertise lies in extracting the maximum energy from it.
And this is why Renault participates in the most competitive motorsport arena in the world. What it learns from engine development feeds directly into its road car programmes, both by adopting F1 technologies and by moving its engineers between the two disciplines. It’s a highly successful strategy that has not only yielded 11 titles, 152 victories, 202 pole positions and 283 podiums during the company’s current 35-year participation in F1, but also a long and impressive run of Renault road cars that sit at the forefront of automotive technology. And reliability too, what Renault has learnt from developing an F1 engine that revs to 18,000rpm regularly for lap-after-lap, transferring directly to its production engines.
Advanced engine technology not only produces highly efficient performance, but also road cars that make an exciting drive. Every Renault with an Energy engine comes with the thrilling power delivery of a turbocharger, and has been engineered by men and women with a genuine passion for cars. The same engineers work in the disciplines of both the race and road cars worlds, and they don’t forget what they know of one when they’re working in the other. Which is why a strong vein of motorsport DNA courses through the heart of every Renault, be it a classic Alpine A310, a Renault 5GT Turbo or today’s latest Clio and Captur.
Excitement on the track means excitement on the road
Renault will showcase no less than three major new models at Goodwood this summer, including the much-anticipated Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo EDC, the stylish new Captur compact crossover and the revolutionary electric ZOE. Not only that, but there will also be two previously unseen, performance-oriented concepts on show, one of which will be 100% electric.
Plenty of Goodwood Festival-goers will make a beeline for the latest Clio Renaultsport, this hot hatch enjoying a legendary reputation for out-handling exotic machinery costing vastly more. The latest version – now 36kg lighter for an all-up weight of only 1204kg – sprints to 62mph in a spectacular 6.7 seconds and will spear 143mph. A 200hp, direct-injection 1.6 turbo engine produces the power behind this performance via a new six-speed, paddle-shift, dual-clutch transmission, which is supplied with a fat 240Nm torque that streams unabated from 1650-5500rpm. Three driving modes – two of them reducing throttle lag and raising the idle speed – trick hydraulic compression control shock absorbers that blend a supple ride with extraordinary body control, an R.S. diff and a Launch Control system ensure that this latest Renaultsport Clio will be even more exciting than its illustrious predecessors. And yes, there’s an optional, keenly priced Cup chassis option too.
Capturing eyes
Just as eye-catching is the Renault Captur, a new and particularly stylish supermini crossover that combines the high-set seating of an off-roader with the space and versatility of a small MPV, and the handy manoeuvrability of a small hatchback besides. An athletic stance that positions the wheels sportily close to the bodywork, doors shaped to prevent shoes and clothes from getting muddy when you step in and a colourful, high quality interior finish underline the attention to detail that characterizes this car. Handy features include optional unzippable seat covers, a sliding rear seat, a multi-position boot floor, and Renault’s new R-link infotainment system.
Like the Clio, the Captur features turbocharged Energy engines, including a TCe 90 petrol and dCi 90 diesel. This is also a car that you can personalise. Two-tone paint schemes, exterior graphics, light and dark interior trim themes and optional highlights in grey, ivory, chrome, orange, green or blue give the interior an appealingly distinctive character, as do décor packs that coordinate with the optional exterior graphics.
Like the new Clio and the ZOE, the Captur is a striking car, and Renault’s chief designer Laurens Van Den Acker will be appearing at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed to explain his already widely admired design strategy for the marque.
Electric Style
Just as distinctive as the Captur is Renault’s stylish new ZOE, an electric car that promises to attract new buyers to this growing segment. With prices starting at only £13,650 after the government’s subsidy, the ZOE is the most affordable, purpose-designed electric car on the market. It also has the biggest range, which is officially homologated at 130 miles, and has also been awarded the full NCAP five stars for occupant protection. A five-door hatchback of particularly appealing lines, the ZOE debuts no less than six ‘world premiere’ features and carries 60 patents, all of them aimed at enhancing its range, user-friendliness and connectivity.
A 65kW (88hp) electric engine provides the ZOE with particularly strong low-speed acceleration thanks to its instant 220Nm of torque, while its top speed is limited to 84mph. Recharging takes between 30 minutes and nine hours using Renault’s patented Chameleon charger, which is compatible with both the fast-charging stations that provide a fast 30 minute charge, and a domestic overnight supply.
ZOE is available in three trims levels called Expression, Dynamique Zen and Dynamique Intens, all three including the Range OptimiZEr package that provides regenerative braking, a heat pump and Michelin Energy E-V tyres, all three features contributing to the 130 mile NEDC range that, in real world use, would be typically around 90 miles in temperate conditions. Battery pack rental costs from just £70 a month, and in combination with the low cost of the energy required to charge, makes the ZOE very cheap to run. Renault has become the first car manufacturer to offer a free domestic charging point with a new electric car purchase. The free Single Wall-box, supplied and installed by Renault’s preferred electric vehicle charging partner, British Gas, is supplied and installed free of charge to ZOE customers.
R-Link super-connectivity
Apart from their style, a common feature to the Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo EDC, the Captur and the ZOE is Renault’s innovative and hugely useful new R-Link infotainment system, which provides an impressive level of connectivity for the drivers of these cars. This multi-media tablet is also available in the new Clio hatchback and the new Kangoo van range too. Either fitted as standard or available for a very reasonable £450, this impressive and attractive tool is designed to appeal to those with an interest in new technologies, and equally, to be useful and easily understood for those that aren’t.
A key aim behind its design has been to avoid the need to use a small pile of portable devices to make phone calls or listen to music while on the move. So R-Link provides Bluetooth telephony, navigation, a radio, music streaming and connectivity to music devices, as well as connection to a series of vehicle-related services. Customers can tailor R-Link to suit their particular needs by subscribing to a variety of services – including TomTomLive – and downloading as many as 50 apps. The system itself is controlled by a clear and intuitive touchscreen, a set of steering wheel-mounted controls and a series of voice commands to ensure that the driver’s eyes remain on the road. R-Link is one of the most advanced and attractive infotainment systems on the market, and one of the most affordable too.
Some of its more unusual features include an app allowing you to compare the prices of the nearest 10 fuel stations, an Eco-coaching programme, a Yellow Pages search and when the car is stationary, the ability to tweet or play Sudoku. And for drivers of electrically-propelled Renaults, it helps you optimize your range, route and battery charge, and can guide you to the nearest charging station using TomTom Z.E. Live navigation.
Clean Energy
Leading-edge technology of a different kind is to be found under the bonnets of a variety of Renaults featuring the latest Energy engines, which harness technology developed on track, on road and in the laboratory. Renault has now launched its ninth engine in the Energy series with the Energy TCe 130, which replaces the 1.4 TCe 130 engine, to be available from April in the New Mégane, the New Scenic and the New Grand Scenic.
This down-sized, direct injection, variably valve-timed 1.2 litre turbo yields an impressive 130hp at 5000rpm and 205Nm of peak torque from a low 2000rpm, to produce performance equivalent to a normally aspirated 2.0 litre. More than that, it generates fuel savings of between 15 and 20 percent depending on it application. A lively, smooth and eager drive, it also features a fuel-saving stop-start system and in the Mégane hatchback, achieves a combined consumption figure of 52.3mpg, and CO2 emissions of just 124g/km.
Like all the Energy engines, the TCe 130 features thermal management systems, a variable displacement oil pump, a turbocharger, diamond-like low friction coatings for the cam followers and graphite coatings for the piston skirts, as with Renault’s F1 engines. There has been plenty of emphasis on refinement too, noise reduced by up to 50 percent compared to the power units these Energy engines replace. An overarching goal of the Energy engine programme is to reduce Renault’s range CO2 emission, and by the end of 2013 this average is expected to fall below 120g/km – an impressive result.
Alpine relaunch to scale new heights
It’s 40 years since the Alpine A110 sports car won the Monte Carlo rally, and you can see one of these compact, low-slung and strikingly beautiful coupes on Renault’s main Goodwood stand. Renault is relaunching the famous marque with an ambitious programme that will see the launch of an all-new model co-developed with British sports car maker Caterham in 2016, as well as an exciting motorsport programme, kicking off this year, that includes contesting the Le Mans 24 hour race – which Alpine won outright in 1978 – and the European Le Mans (ELM) race series. Alpine has contested the Le Man 24 hour race no less than 11 times between 1963 and 1978, fielding a total of 55 cars over the period with class wins and victories in the Energy Index and Performance Index categories on several occasions.
Alpine’s rebirth has already got off to an excellent start, an A110 winning the Monte Carlo Classic rally earlier this year. One of the five-car team was an A110 co-driven by Renault COO Carlos Tavares and Jean-Pascal Dauce. For the return to Le Mans Alpine has joined forces with Signatech, which will enter an Alpine LMP2 chassis powered by a 500bhp Nissan engine for the five rounds of the ELM series.
[size size=150]Se retrasa la apertura de la fabrica de Renault en China[/size] Parece ser que el gobierno chino todavia no ha dado el visto bueno a la asociación con Dongfeng Motor (que ya está asociado con PSA y Nissan) y eso que era para este mes, asi que Renault y Donfeng tienen paralizada la fabrica que ha creado para fabricar 150.000 modelos y que ha costado 870 millones de euros. Con ello conseguiria bajar los precios de los vehiculos al no tener que pagar altos impuestos
Esperan que para el 2º trimestre les den la luz verdeL’implantation de l’usine en Chine retardée
Alors que Nissan est déjà très implanté en Chine, Renault de son côté arrive à peine sur ce marché en pleine expansion. Pour ce faire, Renault doit implanter une nouvelle usine localement, chose qui était prévue, mais qui attend cependant un accord.L’affaire devait être réglée en ce mois de mars, mais pourtant, les autorités chinoises tardent à donner leur accord.
Cette usine dont le coût est chiffré à 870 millions d’euros, résultat d’une co-entreprise avec le groupe chinois Dongfeng Motor (second constructeur du pays et qui est déjà allié à Nissan et… PSA), permettra à terme à Renault de produire localement 150 000 véhicules par an et certainement des véhicules électriques, évitant ainsi les lourdes taxes sur les produits importés.
«Nous attendons le feu vert définitif des autorités chinoises au deuxième trimestre 2013», annonce t-on du côté de Renault. A suivre donc.
Pero no fabricaban ya en china?? Porque algunos modelos parece que los hacian alli…jejeje

Que cabroncete jajajaja. No, lo que llega a China lo hace desde corea. Cuando abra la planta de alli, podrá empezar a rebajar costes y vender mas. Y encima en el salón de Shangai de este han han llevado el concept Alpine A11-50, supongo que será un buen mercado potencial para conseguir las unidades que quiere vender Renault.Creo que esto viene aqui, ya que Autovaz es de Renault [size size=150]Autovaz cuadruplica sus beneficios en 2012[/size] Avtovaz, le premier constructeur automobile russe qui commercialise notamment la marque Lada et dont Renault et l’Alliance prennent progressivement le contrôle du groupe, a multiplié son bénéfice net par quatre en 2012.
Excellente nouvelle pour Renault donc et conforme aux espoirs placés dans le marché russe il y a quelques années. Malgré un recul de ses ventes de près de 7% (537 000 unités) dans un marché en hausse de 11% (2,9 millions d’unités), Lada a enregistré un bénéfice net de 720 millions d’euros, contre 165 millions en 2011.
Pour faire face à la baisse de ses ventes, Renault continue le renouvellement de la gamme, avec notamment l’arrêt de l’antique Fiat 124 de… 1966.
Grâce à une toute nouvelle ligne de production pour des véhicules basés sur la plate-forme de la Logan, l’usine géante (environ 70 000 personnes) d’Avtovaz produit des véhicules pour Nissan, et prochainement pour le compte de Renault avec un objectif d’un million de véhicules produits d’ici 2017.
Pour 2013, et même si Renault refuse de confirmer l’information, l’Alliance aurait abaissée ses objectifs de production de près de 30% (70 000 vs 100 000 véhicules) la faute à une croissance ralentie.[size size=150]Renault aumenta un 22.4% sus ventas en China en 2012[/size] Consigue unas ventas de 29,724 vehiculos, contando que, de momento, no está asociada a ninguna marca china, aunque eso deberia acabarse pronto cuando pueda poner en marcha la fabrica conjunta con Dongfeng

NEXT GENERATION EUROPEAN COMPACT CAR FROM NISSANYokohama, Japan (April 26, 2013)– Nissan Motor Co.,Ltd. today announced that the replacement for the current Nissan Micra compact car will be manufactured at a Renault plant in Europe. Due to start production in 2016, the vehicle will be exported across Europe’s left-hand drive markets. Under the Nissan Power 88 six-year business plan, the company will launch, on average, one new model every six weeks for the duration of the plan. Consequently, available capacity across the relevant plants in the Nissan manufacturing network is already planned to be fully utilized and led the company to look at alternatives within the Renault-Nissan Alliance.
Driven by sales and share expansion across Europe and Russia, Nissan’s manufacturing capacity in Europe and India (the current source for the Micra) will be fully utilized in the mid-term period.
The decision to propose the vehicle to Renault to build at one of its European plants benefits Nissan in several ways including capital expense reduction, foreign exchange exposure reduction and working capital reduction through shorter supply chains.
Commenting on the decision to propose consignment of the vehicle to a Renault plant, Trevor Mann, Chairman of the Management Committee, Nissan Europe said: «Nissan is pleased to leverage the economic and logistical benefits of sourcing the next generation Micra at a forecasted annual volume of 82,000 units from a Renault plant in Europe. Nissan already sources powertrain from the Cleon facility and the NV400 light commercial vehicle from the Batilly plant.»
The Nissan Micra, also sold under the March name in certain markets, is one of the company’s most enduring and recognized products. As a global vehicle, the next generation of Micra will also continue to be manufactured outside of Europe, consistent with Nissan’s optimized global sourcing strategy.

Tambien estarán atentos al campeonatoFormula E, ya que si ven un alto nivel de competición, se podrian plantear un monoplaza para competir en él http://www.worldcarfans.com/113051357610/renault-sport-considering-an-electric-vehicle—report [size size=150]Renault pregunta por facebook si les gustaria un Zoe cabrio[/size]
Y es que un fan transformó en descapotable al Zoe y se lo enseñó a Renault. Esta lo ha puesto en el facebook preguntando si a la gente le gustaria la idea de hacerlo. Y a mucha gente parece que les gusta la ideaHay dos imagenes (supongo que de 2 personas diferentes)

Y lo pongo por aqui porque no sabia donde ponerlo😀 [size size=150]Renault presentará los Laguna IV, Espace V y Scenic IV en 2014[/size]
La propia marca ha confirmado que su planta de Douai (Georges Besse) va a recibir una inversión de 420 millones de € para su transformación para producirlos.
Está transformación consistira, entre otras cosas, en que una linea de producción sea capaz de producir los 5 modelos: Espace, Laguna berlina y familiar, Scenic y Grand Scenic
Con esto, conseguirian una mayor adaptación ante la fluctuabilidad del mercado, pudiendo producir mas o menos segun lo que se demande. Esto es gracias a compartir muchos componentes estructurales comunes, tanto para Renault como para Nissannota de prensa, en inglés
The Douai site undergoes a transformation to build its futureThe Georges Besse plant in Douai (France) is undergoing a transformation that will enable it to welcome the successors of Espace, Laguna and Scénic from 2014. Renault has announced an industrial investment of €420 million for this project.– From 2014, the plant will be able to build five bodies on a single line meeting the highest standards of performance.
– This is an industrial challenge for the plant, which will implement new technologies while modernizing its existing tool base. It is also a human challenge, based on skills-building and more than 35 years of expertise.A plant undergoing major changes in order to build its futurePlant performance is key to the success of the Renault group’s strategic plan. As part of this plant, Renault is upgrading its industrial base and has announced an investment of €420 million for the Douai plant. The objective is to build five bodies on a single line meeting the highest standards of performance.
Building the successors to Espace, Laguna (estate & hatch) and Scénic (short and long) from 2014 is an industrial challenge for the plant. Thierry Bolloré, Executive Vice-President, Manufacturing and Supply Chain, Renault group, said: “The aim is for the plant to move into a new segment – executive vehicles – and to manage an unprecedented level of diversity. This will make it less dependent on market fluctuations and thus more efficient.”
The Douai plant is also preparing to switch to a single-flow “standard”, i.e. with just one line. Single-flow operation is a strategic choice that is becoming a standard common to all Renault group plants in Western Europe (France, Spain Slovenia). It will enable plants to adapt more easily to fluctuating demand and to react more quickly, while also demanding greater flexibility and better management of diversity. Reflecting this aim, the Douai plant has cut capacity in order to adapt to the structural downturn in the market, but the actual planned level of production is higher than today.
This ability to manage a wide diversity of vehicles from different range segments has been made possible by the engineering department, which has designed a number of standardized architectural components for vehicles from the same Renault and Nissan family. This new approach to engineering will concern a growing number of vehicles in the range. From an industrial standpoint, this approach can be seen in the shared sequencing of assembly operations.
An industrial and human challengeWork began in summer 2011 to adapt the industrial base for the arrival of five new vehicle bodies. A significant part of the work currently in progress involves the introduction of new stamping technologies (Douai has one of the Renault group’s biggest press shops):
Hot stamping: a first in the Renault group. This technology brings reductions in weight since the sheet metal is thinner (thus also cutting CO2 emissions), while improving safety, since the material gains the advanced mechanical characteristics of tempered steel: strength and elasticity.
Expansion of the plastics unit: two new presses and a new assembly line. Douai is to increase production in this unit, with a significant part of output being exported to other Renault group plants.
Aluminium stamping: used for the first time at the Douai plant, this technology will bring reductions in weight, thus also cutting CO2 emissions.Major work is also underway to modernize the existing tool base. For example:
the re-gauging of some tools and installations, particularly in the paint shop,
the transformation and modernization of tools, to increase flexibility and thus manage greater product diversity.
In the body shop, introduction of a new panel line to manage greater product diversity.
In the final assembly shop, switch to a single line organized in a large U-shape, with logistics nearby. In this way, the plant is switching to a full kitting assembly process: logistics prepares parts kits that are placed next to the line for direct assembly. This improves both ergonomics and quality.
Lineside areas are freed up, for an airier working environment and improved safety conditions.
A variable height seating (SHV) programme has been introduced to improve working comfort from an ergonomic standpoint.This industrial challenge goes hand-in-hand with a human challenge: building the skills required by the new industrial environment around a quality policy implemented by the entire workforce. The quality expertise of the Douai plant already meets high standards. This is clear from its results. The 2012 ADAC ratings place Scénic and Mégane just behind the premium brands. Specifically, for the arrival of the new range, all personnel will receive training covering the new products, the new industrial facilities, and the associated objectives.
