They are also being aggressive with eco-technology as they are aiming to incorporate solar panels to the roofs of their factories in France. The idea is the largest project of its sort in the auto industry with more than 450,000 square meters of solar panels producing 60 megawatts of electricity or enough to power a town with a population of 20,000.
The construction will begin in June and they will not be finished until February the coming year. By doing this, Renault wants to reduce the effects of the pollution on the environment. There had been a similar project begun by Seat in their Spanish plants.

Sales of medium to luxury cars for Renault have dipped somewhat from 150,000 in 2005 to 100,000 last year. The new line of Renault cars are not anticipated to hit the market before the 2014-15 season, they have to do their best to exploit those cars that sell well in their current line. The French media said that Tavares needs to attempt to even the discrepancy between the partnership with Nissan as Nissan has sold more than four million cars while Renault has sold just 2.6 million cars.
Another area that Renault is wanting to fix is their lack of any presence in the Chinese market as they look to establish themselves in 2013 to 2016. Plus, Renault does not have any presence in the United States whatsoever. Even though no one is sure if Renault plans to return to the US market, they are looking to establish more of a presence in Russia and Brazil. As for the Indian market, they have been struggling a bit but continue to produce new cars that should appeal to Indian consumers.
To sum up, the intention of the company is to grow the annual sales by more than 400 000 units but this goal can only be achieved if the company brings new design innovations with their existing and upcoming line of cars.
