The constant determination which has transcended every period of Renault’s existence, guiding our options and governing the directions in which we have developed, is now helping to establish our reputation. At the dawn of this third millennium, our dedication to innovation is not just central to our own concerns but also to those of the individual motorist who is now entitled to expect not only that a vehicle will provide safety, performance and respect for the environment, but also intelligence. Creation means bringing together intuition and expertise. At a time when performance and individualism were in fashion we were the first to break with established thinking by imagining an MPV.
To launch the audacious elegance of the Vel Satis and the innovative but winning lines of the New Mégane, we again had to dare to be different. Innovation is born when an idea meets a need. We have a flair for picking up on your wishes and visualising your expectations and this has enabled us to design vehicles that are a natural extension of living space (Espace), to invent modularity (Scénic), the keyless car (Laguna) and the automatic parking brake (Vel Satis), exceeding your expectations at each stage. It is by imagining what will be commonplace tomorrow that we have been able to realise the dream of the intelligent car, capable of helping drivers to hold their course and of assisting them to do what is essential to keep them and their passengers safe. As a result, following crash tests carried out by Euro NCAP (the independent European Consortium) the Laguna Hatchback, Mégane Hatch, Vel Satis, Espace, Scénic, Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet and most recently Modus, have each achieved the maximum 5-Star rating and are the safest cars in their category. BRO_JR84_GB 18/07/05 15:11 Page 1 Every day, our engineers think up and develop new systems for continually reducing the risk of accidents, such as a new generation of programmed-restraint airbags or the Brake Assist system. Competition - and Formula 1 in particular - is a valuable laboratory for innovation. It means we can design and develop the technological excellence that characterises our engines and gearboxes, so that you can experience the pleasure of driving dCi direct Commonrail injection diesel engines. We take all our environmental responsibilities very seriously - innovation today comes with a deep respect for the environment. Our engines are now much more unobtrusive and their emissions have been considerably reduced. All our vehicles are designed with recycling in mind and are on target to reach 95% recyclability. For further information on the End of Life Vehicle Directive and our progress against its targets please visit our web site, www.renault.co.uk. While being responsible in terms of safety and the environment, we remain attentive to your service needs. From the extensive coverage of the Renault Network to the flexibility and speed of its assistance, by way of the personal finance packages, internet site or customer service, we are opening the lines of communication in order to guarantee you support at all times.
