GROUP

NOVO MESTO - REVOZ

Revoz is Slovenia's only car factory and one of its biggest industrial plants. Revoz is a Renault group bodywork assembly plant that manufactures Clio II and, since 2007, New Twingo.

Situation 

The Revoz site is located in the town of Novo Mesto in Slovenia, 60 km south-east of Ljubljana, the capital city.
 
The plant is located on the southern edge of Novo Mesto, on the right bank of the Krka river, which runs through the town. The southern edge of the site is bordered by houses.

 

Highlights 

2007 was a key year for Revoz, with the launch of New Twingo. For the first time in its history, the plant is the exclusive manufacturer of a completely new model. The project is partly subsidized by the Slovenian government.  2007 was also a record year, since the plant achieved an absolute production record of 200,164 vehicles.

 

  • Award for the company that is most respectful of the environment

ISO 14001 certified in 1999, the Novo Mesto plant’s approach is based on a major staff training plan, and now plays the role of a pilot plant for the rest of the country. Involved in efforts by government bodies, and consulted by other companies, the plant, with the support of its staff, thus finds additional motivation in applying Renault's policy. On November 27, 2003, the plant was awarded the most environmentally-aware company prize by Slovenia's Environmental Development Fund.
 

  • Noise

Changes in some building structures and certain processes have reduced noise produced by the plant.


To reduce noise emission, the plant has installed noise walls and silencers on some ventilation systems.
 

  • Continuous improvement plan

Developing a continuous improvement plan has made it possible to maintain stable environmental impacts despite an increase in production of about 40% between 1998 and 2006 and 30% between 2006 and 2007.
  

  • Management 

Environmental operations are fully integrated into standard operations on all workstations.
