Renault Korea Motors (CEO Stephane Deblaise) participated in the “Invest Korea Summit 2023” held at BEXCO in Busan on the 7th to showcase the company’s investment achievements in Korea and unveil its plan for the transition to future mobility.
While delivering a speech during the Invest Korea conference on that day, Renault Korea CEO Stephane Deblaise announced the company’s achievements, such as cumulative production of 3.7 million vehicles based on the company’s cumulative investment of 5 trillion won in Korea and its continued contribution to overseas exports.
Furthermore, he emphasized that Korea's outstanding industrial and human infrastructure serves as a foundation for foreign investment, and presented Renault Korea's vision for future mobility as "a Thriving Automotive Tech Company."
Renault Korea has accelerated its efforts to strengthen its research and development capabilities in automotive software based on digital trends to enhance consumer convenience. Through these efforts, the automaker has introduced industry-leading innovative solutions to the domestic market and consumers, such as “In Car Payment,” a simple payment system that allows customers to place orders, pay and receive items in the car, and a real-time maintenance booking service called “Fast Track Booking.”
Renault Korea also plans to expedite its transition to eco-friendly electrified vehicles, including the latest hybrid technology, starting from next year.
