Less than two years after the formation of Dongfeng Renault Automotive Company (DRAC) -- the joint venture between Renault and Dongfeng in China, the partners have announced the production of its first electric vehicle in China.
The electric vehicle will be based on the Fluence Z.E. It will be produced at the Wuhan plant in 2017 and will be commercialised under a local Dongfeng brand for the Chinese market only.
The agreement is part of the will of both the Renault Group and the Dongfeng Group to propose mobility solutions for sustainable development. Jacques Daniel, CEO of DRAC, confirmed, "This EV agreement illustrates Renault’s engagement as partner of COP 21.’’
