Renault creates Mobilize to realize 20% of its income in electrification and services

Using the data, Mobilize is able to offer mobility, energy, financing, insurance, payment, maintenance and renovation services and reduce the running costs for its customers

The electrification process, technologies and digitization are driving significant changes in the automotive world. After the adaptation and presentation of new electric cars, the brands are committed to new models that allow them to remain profitable. The future will happen not just by producing and selling cars, but by offering a range of complete mobility services for each of the needs.

It is one of the objectives of Mobilize, the division of the Renault group which, as announced by the company’s CEO, Luca de Meo, will represent 20% of the group’s turnover by 2030. The manager has stated that these types of services currently account for 6% of Renault’s turnover. For De meo, “this announcement marks another step in the goal of moving from a traditional automaker to a technology and mobility company.”

Mobilize leads the transformation of the Renault group into the new mobility value chain and confirms its target of representing 20% ​​of the group’s turnover by 2030. The goal is to have almost one million vehicles in production for this division. 2030, with 70% of the same 100% electric compared to the 350,000 it currently has, of which only 15% electric.

At the presentation of the brand this Tuesday, the CEO of the Renault group, Luca de Meo, indicated that Mobilize will become the “linchpin” for the transformation of the diamond consortium. It is also projected to see a 70% growth in the number of financial services sold to its customers, reaching 8 million by 2030. De Meo has pointed out that Mobilize is “a new brand born from the asset reorganization from the group”

“Mobilize sells services, not vehicles, which allows us to generate recurring revenues and reduce operating costs for our customers. We have chosen to cover the elements of the mobility value chain with the greatest growth and margin potential. For example, based on an integrated software ecosystem, we offer a range of services, ranging from financing solutions to insurance via energy and maintenance. The vehicle will become a service platform that will allow the revenue generated throughout its life cycle to be multiplied by three,” said Clotilde Delbos, Mobilize General Manager.

The model presented on Tuesday is based on three pillars: an integrated software ecosystem, a range of specific vehicles and a range of services suitable for each of the existing mobility needs.

Starting with the first of the points, Clotilde Delbos explained that the “software ecosystem” will allow the vehicle (Software Defined Vehicle) to offer all services to professional and private customers. This ecosystem will be supported by the already operational technological components of the Mobilize subsidiaries, through their subsidiaries and the Renault group. This will allow the more than 600 developers working on this system to release a first version of Software Defined Vehicle by 2023.

But Mobilize also develops its own vehicles, 100% electric and specially designed for specific, shared and intensive use, from two-seater models designed for shared urban transport to models dedicated to last-mile transport with different capacities. According to the CEO of Mobilize, the goal is to “maximize the reduction in total cost of ownership (TCU) for mobility operators. Five elements guide the design and engineering teams through design: durability, ‘over-the-air’ upgradeability, easy-to-clean maintenance, reduced environmental footprint and a rich and engaging customer experience.”

This offering will be complemented by the third pillar, with financial services through RCI Bank, energy and charging services to accompany its customers (mobility managers, fleet managers and individuals) at home, on site and on the road, and data-driven maintenance and repair for predictive vehicle maintenance.
