Renault’s new line-up in the spotlight

Renault 5 E-Tech electric is the first vehicle to include Reno, Renault’s interactive avatar. Via an interactive display, visitors to the stand will be able to chat with this new, clever and friendly travel companion that is brimming with character.
There will also be two displays of Ampere technology, consisting of the new AmpR Small platform (Renault 5 E-Tech electric is the first model to use this B-segment EV platform) and another for Renault 5 E-Tech electric’s new motor, bidirectional charger and optimised battery.
The stand will also feature a selection of Renault 5 merchandise that references the model’s pop icon status. The store, The Originals, will sell articles designed and made with French brands, including a Bonzini football table, a Shapers Club surfboard, a Saint James woollen jumper and a Plume electric scooter.
Five unique collaborative projects with French start-ups
Renault is enhancing its iconic vehicle’s launch with 5 Movements, a programme with five French start-ups in the mobility sector. Each collaborative project revolves around a natural element – earth, water, air or snow – and all these mobility objects are groundbreaking, compact and high-performance.

Reverso, a French startup, is blazing new trails with an eponymous compact, ultra-stable, rigid-hull sailboat.
