It definitely HEAD OF DESIGN Antony Karlo will hurt Oman if it sustains for any length of time as our relatively higher cost of extraction associated with enhanced recovery methods needs a better sale price.

Im Dezember 1898 rollte mit der «Voiturette» das erste Fahrzeug der Marke auf die Strasse. Bereits der kleine Zweisitzer setzte mit seinem kettenlosen Direktantrieb einen neuen Standard im Automobilbau und lieferte damit die Blau- pause für die nächsten zwölf Jahrzehnte, in deren Verlauf Renault immer wieder mit Innovationen und neuen Fahrzeugkonzepten für Aufsehen sorgte. So ist 2018 auch das Jahr zahlreicher weiterer Jubiläen in der bewegten Renault Historie: Vor 80 Jahren kam der Juvaquatre auf den Markt, vor 60 Jahren debütierte die Floride, vor 40 Jahren triumphierte Renault in Le Mans, und vor 20 Jahren eröffnete das Unternehmen sein Technocentre, um nur ein paar davon zu nennen. Die vorliegende Übersicht beinhaltet die wichtigs- ten Renault Jubiläumstermine des Jahres. Viel Spass beim Blättern und Schmökern.

  • Comunicato Stampa
    Comunicato stampa 13/05/2020 25 ANNI DI INNOVAZIONE ELETTRICA RENAULT In tutta la sua storia, il Gruppo Renault è sempre stato guidato da un costante spirito innovativo. Le concept car e i prototipi presentati nel corso degli ultimi due decenni rivelano l’abilità dei designer e degli ingegneri Renault di reinventare il futuro utilizzando creatività e tecnologia. Questi veicoli hanno sempre l’ambizione di far sognare ma anche di esplorare nuove tendenze. Il Gruppo Renault è stato uno dei primi costruttori automobilistici a raccogliere la sfida della mobilità sostenibile; pioniere del veicolo elettrico, ha investito massicciamente nell’elettrificazione. Dal 1995, il Costruttore sviluppa veicoli che contribuiscono all’obiettivo di garantire una mobilità sostenibile interpretando le esigenze degli utenti ed offrendo soluzioni alle sfide del trasporto. Uno sguardo ad alcune concept car e prototipi elettrici presentati da Renault negli ultimi 25 anni conferma il ruolo chiave di questi veicoli nell’anticipare il futuro, sia in termini di design che di sistemi di propulsione e di soluzioni tecnologiche volte a migliorare la mobilità sostenibile per tutti. Confidential C Renault NEXT (1995): un’anteprima dell’elettrificazione Il 18 giugno 1995, Renault presenta un prototipo rivoluzionario, che anticipa l’elettrificazione: si tratta di un veicolo familiare ibrido dotato di motore termico all’anteriore e due ruote motrici elettriche al posteriore. Il motore a tre cilindri da 750cc di Renault NEXT è alimentato da due piccoli motori elettrici in corrispondenza delle ruote posteriori, che conferiscono a questo minivan la capacità di viaggiare in modalità elettrica per circa 20 Km a velocità fino a 40 km/h.
