Guangzhou Auto Show: Interview with Renault Group Chief Competition Officer

in 2016 Guangzhou auto show scene, we interviewed the Renault chief competitive officer Boluo Lei Group Thierry (Thierry BOLLORE) and Mr. Reynolds , Senior Vice Group President and Chief Dongfeng Renault Automobile Co., Ltd. , President Otto (Francois PROVOST), the following is the interview Record.

  Reporter: I have three questions today. The first question is, smart interconnect configuration is now a very popular trend, each brand in the introduction of new models, are inevitably to carry this type of system. Currently it gave me the feeling that between the various systems is Datong minor differences. I would like to ask Renault what a selling point in the intelligent network system this one is? The second problem is that now the smart phone functionality is very full, in fact, this intelligent mobile travel, a smart phone has been included in almost all the functions can be done. So, in-vehicle system, what kind of features to do, you can form a functional between the smart phone complementary or competition? The third problem is that the future Renault how to define or determine a smart travel? There is no development of some technology to meet the needs of smart Internet travel?
  Thierry Boluo Lei: We have focused on three main concerns: the first is zero emissions; the second is the intelligent network; the third is the autopilot. You have just asked these questions, basically all of us to these three key points. Intelligent interconnection with the automatic driving has a very important link between. For example, we launched the ZOE electric vehicles, which is our zero-emission models, one of the most popular models. In this four years, we ZOE this model has been achieved intelligent interconnection. For example, now all the data can be connected with the function of the battery together. Previously we were using the R-Link®1 system and now we are upgrading to R-Link® 2, all of which can be used for intelligent interconnection in the car, and it is possible to implement this interconnection with many APPs.What we have just mentioned is what we have achieved in the past and what is happening today. Of course, we have vision and vision for the future. The vision for the future is broader and broader. Our vision for the future is that we are rolling out a smartphone or tablet, or other personal computer device, just like in a personal office or at home. This will provide our customers with the services they need, such as in insurance or repair, maintenance, and information exchange, as if they were using a very fast computer at home.
  
  In the future, this intelligent interconnection can also make our automatic driving possible. Because to achieve autopilot, it is necessary to continue to input information into the car, ensure that the car can be safely run on one way street, or in very heavy traffic in the city can safely travel zone.In this way, we need to continue to include maps and all the information transmitted to the car which. At the same time, also need a car between the car and communicate with each other and communicate with the surrounding environment communication. So as to ensure safe automatic driving. The relationship between this intelligent interconnection capability and autopiloting is also evident. For example, whether the owner or the passengers when they switch to autopilot mode, such as in the city to open automatically when the driving mode or the suburbs, or the highway, and they will be able to make the car autopilot, and that they can The car to do other things, such as video conferencing, etc., all of which require a very powerful ability to achieve a smart interconnection can be achieved.
  
  You just asked us to Renault 's unique selling point lies. I would like to talk about our brand promise. We hope that through innovation can make the lives of consumers more easily. Moreover, our vision is fully consistent with such a commitment. We hope to provide the best products to customers, but also hope that through this automatic driving and intelligent interconnection capabilities, to provide them with better, new travel solutions. Therefore, our customers to make life easier brand promise, but also with those I have described before the achievement has become a reality, is highly compatible. And, within our brand promise, we also want all of these new products to be readily available to our customers. It does not have to wait for many years, and we expect to do so by 2020. What I have just described is Customers before.
  
  On your smart phone with the car system with the interaction between the contact, smart phones, including smart computers and other smart devices, can indeed with the car system to form a very interesting interaction. This is already achievable, we have with Apple, Google had a cooperation in the Apple system, Andrews system has launched such an interactive system. Such a car system with the smart phone interactive features, we have achieved today. But we also want to work with partners to make such a system more accurate, and more in line with the needs of each customer. For example, now the car system, more of its own design and algorithm to guide it. For each customer's specific needs, its adaptability is not enough. Therefore, we also hope to be able to build our system better, can adapt to each customer, every owner of the individual needs. Ultimately, we wanted to give our customers the best possible freedom to take advantage of their smartphones and to interact with the R-link® embedded in our car .
  
  The third question, on intelligent travel. In fact, in this regard, we have also done a lot of experiments and experiments, such as carpooling and so on a new way of travel, one example is Autolive. Although Autolive is a company based in France, but in fact its services and products are exported to other countries in North America, including Europe and other countries. We are also involved in such a business. In addition, we also work with them, to launch intelligent travel solutions. In the next few years, the city scale will become increasingly large, urban number of residents will continue to rise. In the coming years, there will be 60% of the population living in big cities , metropolis. Urban travel has become a very real problem, but also we are very concerned about an issue. Therefore, we can see, in the electric car, intelligent interconnection and automatic driving these three areas, they are closely linked. We also hope that through intelligent driving, can provide a better travel programs to address urban pollution, difficult parking and other issues, while also make people's lives better. As I also said our brand promise, we are also committed to providing a very pragmatic solution that our government, for our city advice. Speaking autopilot, Otto CEO you can then add, in China we autopilot done by some of the initiatives.
  Otto: As you know, Dongfeng Renault based in Wuhan , so we hope to be able to follow Wuhan to work with local government agencies and departments. Because Wuhan now hope to develop this very intelligent travel solutions, which for many of the world's large cities , it is a problem to be solved. Therefore, we are now launching a number of new initiatives. In Wuhan , we will open before the end of the autopilot test area, our flagship electric car is ZOE, which runs in the test area. ZOE this electric car, which not only can achieve intelligent Internet, but also has the function of automatic driving. So we'll Wuhan to achieve automatic driving vision to try.
  Reporter: I have two questions. The first problem is that there are already many car companies began to use a small-displacement turbocharged engine, but Renault is currently in China, the majority of products sold is 2.0 liters and 2.5-liter naturally aspirated, that is to say, now Renault models with naturally aspirated with other brands of turbo to compete. What do you think of this problem? Currently overseas Renault cars have started using turbocharged engine , when it is expected to begin domestic popularity? The second question is, Dongfeng Renault is still a young joint venture brands, but the pace of development is very rapid, only about half the time on the launch of Ke Leijia and a whole new generation koleos , under a domestic car expected to be launched at what time ?? Can you reveal.
  Thierry Boluo Lei: Let me answer the first question, in other parts of the world, Renault also adopted this small-displacement turbocharged engine .Soon, we will launch in China this engine . A whole new generation Koleos used engine is very advanced. It not only provides powerful power, but also can achieve very good fuel economy. Moreover, we did test our engine fuel economy, can the turbocharged engine comparable to or even better performance. Therefore, we are also constantly moving forward. However, today we offer these engines , which itself is very competitive, but also with the quality of our overall vehicle is also very consistent. Of course, we certainly will be launched in the future Chinese market turbocharged engine .
  Otto: On the second question, I want to focus is on electric vehicles. Our first electric car will be launched by the end of 2017. It is a sedan-type electric car. The introduction of this type of car-type electric cars because we are currently available models and competing products compared to the size of larger, so we hope that the future launch of the vehicle size will be smaller. Secondly, we can use this model to test the sustainability of this solution. The car endurance mileage is very powerful, and very environmentally friendly. At the same time, you can also with the taxi company proposed to allow them to buy such a model. I think a taxi is a very good way to promote electric cars to customers, allowing customers to such a car more at ease. For example, you introduce an electric car, the government may provide subsidies for the electric car. Finally, five people will use the electric car. But if you propose to the taxi company, let the taxi to use the electric car, they will tell a lot of passengers to experience the electric car how good, so it is easy to our brand and products to do a very good publicity. For Renault , the vision of a sustainable travel is our future. Therefore, we also hope that this way through a taxi, you can help customers to promote such an electric car experience.
  So this is why we want to launch the first electric car in the Chinese market is the car type of electric vehicles. Our mission is to always maintain a very strong strength. We are constantly learning and understanding of the Chinese market. Because we enter the Chinese market is not long, so we want to be able to maintain the annual launch of two new models of rhythm. So that we can better achieve the growth in the Chinese market.
  Reporter: In addition to electric vehicles, Renault will move in mixed areas in which planning? Renault has been more and more products for the Chinese market in the future, the new generation of Talisman and Megane RS will not enter the Chinese market?
  Thierry Boluo Lei: whether it is a hybrid electric vehicle or plug-in electric car, we have worldwide distribution, but also the introduction of a hybrid electric vehicle program. In 2014, we in the Paris Motor Show unveiled a concept car called Eolab . The B-Class consumes only 2 liters of oil per 100 kilometers. But the final test, we found that the real consumption is not more than 1 per 100 km. At the same time, we have also done other tests, such as involving the aerodynamics, involving light body design and power system.So we plug-in hybrid electric vehicles do a lot of testing. And now we are testing a technology, hope to soon be able to launch the market, has now become a reality. Such a technology, will also be carried to the B-class and C-class car. On the second, Talisman and Megane RS problem, let Otto president to answer.
  Otto: Because Renault is a global manufacturer of automotive suppliers , and the market share of about 3.3%. So, in any way, we are all possible. When it comes to specific strategic planning, whether it is wind or Renault , we have to choose priorities. The Chinese market, for example, we want to see where the focus. The first focus is the SUV market, because SUV market is a very fast growth market segments. So for us, the SUV models can be used as an entry point into the Chinese market, so that we can gain a foothold, such as the new generation koleos and Ke Leijia . We now focus on the task is to ensure that sales of these models can go up. At the same time, the challenges we have to face, one is sales outlets, distribution provider network coverage adjustment. The second is the brand awareness and reputation, we hope to make Chinese consumers better understand the Renault brand. We will use this as the basis to further expand our distribution in the Chinese market, of course, the future will introduce more models, but the SUV certainly still the focus of our first aim.
  Before we introduced the zero-emission model, it is very suitable for the team, so the zero-emission models, we will accomplish much, and this is our goal in the electric car. The future, we will introduce everyone can afford, very economical and practical electric vehicles. We believe that China has reached a leading position in the world in zero-emission vehicles and zero-emission travel. Such as 2011 to 2015, the world's electric car growth to reach 60% to 65%. But in China, electric car growth is faster. And the Chinese government is also very determined to promote in the future to further promote such zero emissions travel. So we are very confident that China will become the main market in this area. Renault in terms of electric travel is the world leader. So Renault , including those of our joint venture, together with China, hoping to start such a very bold journey.
  Correspondents: the end of 2017, Dongfeng Renault will launch electric cars wind Connaught E300 . So, how to expand the rental market? On the charge pile construction, what planning? Whether electric cars will share a network with conventional diesel vehicles sales, or establish an independent distribution providers ?
  Fulan: first to answer questions about the distribution provider issues.We will not go to the building specifically for electric vehicles distribution provider network. Of course, we will select potential customers more cities, because the local government will give support and help promote. Wuhan autopilot demonstration area. Its experimental area had Renault 's ZOE, the car has automatic driving function, in cooperation signed, we hope to sell 150 units of wind Connaught E300 electric vehicles, in order to promote our electric vehicle products. Because Renault Group is the leader in electric vehicles in the European market, every four new electric car sold, there is a Renault production. Feedback received electric cars also have higher satisfaction, so we distribute providers will be very successful training. Of course, repeat what I just mentioned Mr. Thierry Boluo Lei points: First, the Renault Group is the world leader in electric vehicles. In China, the electric car market will be the SUV second key markets outside.
Reporter: Can you tell us about the future of Dongfeng Renault size of the first paragraph of the electric vehicle and its battery life mileage ?
  Thierry Boluo Lei: About Wind promise E300 , we will soon publish specific data. As for the future of Dongfeng Renault under a given motor car, we and partner Dongfeng , as there is a very clear vision. We hope that this model can make people affordable. I hope to achieve this affordable, affordable, but also to ensure that all the configuration and characteristics can be achieved leapfrog. Speaking of specific data, we will be based on the Chinese market and Chinese customers in the future needs.
