Renault introduces its new Eco2 symbol, clearly proclaiming its commitment for a product offering that is both Economical and Ecological.

This ecological approach covers every stage of a vehicle’s lifecycle.

Renault Eco2 models are affordable, economical in terms of fuel consumption and engineered to help reduce the environmental impact of motoring.

Renault's longstanding quest to curb CO2 emissions was again rewarded with a top-three ranking in the list of Europe's most efficient carmakers at the end of 2008.

Sixty per cent of the vehicles sold by the group (Renault and Dacia) in Europe in 2008 emitted less than 140g of CO2/km (compared with 48% in 2007).

Twenty per cent of the vehicles sold by the group (Renault and Dacia) in Europe in 2008 emitted less than 120g of CO2/km. Meanwhile, Renault is actively pursuing its breakaway strategy when it comes to reducing CO2 emissions with the development of electric vehicles.

A vehicle is given the Renault Eco2 symbol if it:

  • Emits less than 140g/km of CO2 or operates on biofuels (in France), on E85 ethanol or on B30 biodiesel
  • Is manufactured in a plant that has been certified ISO 14001
  • Can be 95% recoverable at the end of its lifecycle (recyclable for other use or as a source of energy) and it includes at least 5% recycled plastics in its plastic mass.
