I ‘af batteries Papa

French carmaker Renault pledged to slim down and focus more on technology as its new CEO laid out plans to revive a business hammered by management turmoil and the COVID-19 crisis.

In his first strategy update since taking over in July, Chief Executive Luca de Meo said he will slash an extra 500 million euro ($608 million) in costs and focus on producing a smaller number of profitable models.

Car production will drop to 3.1 million vehicles by 2025 from 4 million in 2019, while half of new launches will be electrified - including a revamped version of the classic Renault Super Cinq model.

The plan is a marked departure from the ambitious expansion drive set out four years ago by former boss-turned-fugitive Carlos Ghosn who is on the run on charges of using company funds for personal investments and misusing corporate assets.

For all his faults, Ghosn had difficult shoes to fill and the company seemed to do well under his “Mr Fix-it” strategies.
